Mumbai Trips & Tours

Bold and beautiful, just like the Bollywood stars that frequent the city’s in-the-know hot spots, Mumbai takes the title as India’s largest metropolis. It’s not easy to sum up a place this staggeringly enormous and packed-to-the-rafters with human beings (and animals!), but really that’s what it’s all about. People come to Mumbai to make it big, be it artists or film stars, labourers or city workers, and the furious rush of energy that smacks you in the face as soon as you touchdown on the tarmac doesn’t stop, day or night. On one hand, this is modern India – gleaming skyscrapers and trendy young things sipping chai in beachfront cafes – but it’s also full of impressive relics of the past, the mighty India Gate and the imposing rail station are probably the most notable. But then there’s also colourful markets to wander, shops to fill several suitcases in, world-class museums to frequent and promenades to stroll. Best stay for a few days then.
