At the shores of Arabian Sea, while the setting sun kisses the Gateway of India, the magnetic glitter of the queen’s necklace start twinkle in your eyes, Mumbai welcomes you in the dream land of Arabian nights.




Mumbai, the capital city of Maharashtra on the Konkan coast of western India is a fusion of the east and the west in its passion for living.



Oozing with the self-confidence of maverick money makers and Bindass (carefree) attitude, the city has emerged as the financial and commercial capital of the country. The melting pot of several cultures Mumbai allowed Portuguese to call her Bombay, in their language. Later, in 1995 Bombay was renamed Mumbai which is opulent with its natural, historical and modern beauty.



The city of Dabbawalas and Vadapav lovers is a treasure trove of warm hearted people. The cosmopolitan culture of Mumbai offers its tourists multi-religious spots like Mumbadevi temple, Siddhivinayak temple, Haji Ali Mosque, Mount Mary Church, Afghan Church and many more.



While the history of Mumbai can allure you with its several historical monuments (Elephanta caves, Kanheri caves, Sion Fort, Vasai Fort, Kalyan Fort, etc.) right from ancient to colonial periods, the present Mumbai bids you the world’s largest film industry (Bollywood), night clubs, pubs, sea beaches and much more.



The Colaba causeway, the Leopold restaurant, the Chor bazaar (A night-market of imitated antiques and many other products, Asia’s largest slum Dharavi are few some places which grab tourist’s attention. Mouth watering local Malwani-Konkani sea foods of Kotachiwadi will compel you to visit the city again and again.
