Travel Guide to Mumbai

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the largest city in India lying on its west coast. It attracts hordes of people every year – in search of wealth, prosperity, fame, and even, to simply work and earn a living. It is the city of dreams, and the entertainment and financial capital of India, too! If you are keen enough to witness diversity, Mumbai has it in ample measure, and this leaves any first-time visitor spell bound. There's plenty to do in Mumbai – from visiting some beautiful (but crowded) beaches to marveling at age-old British colonial architectural monuments like the Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus, Gateway of India and the Asiatic Society. That's not all, you will also find old, hidden sacred places to visit, some incredible roadside shopping and a generous dose of street food along the way.

Climate

Mumbai has a tropical climate with hot and humid weather. It experiences relatively constant temperatures almost throughout the year due to its proximity to the coast. If you're planning out your next vacation in this lively city, you are recommended to visit anytime from October to February when the weather is pleasant and favorable. The monsoons in Mumbai (June to September) are a mix of dry spells and showers that last for days, leaving the city at a standstill, while summers (March to May) can be unbearably hot if spent outdoors. However, the rainy season is a great time to visit nearby monsoon getaways from Mumbai.

Places of Interests

The city's major landmark is Gateway of India lying on the Mumbai Harbour waterfront built by the British Raj in 1924. Other popular attractions include Elephanta Caves, one of India's oldest rock cut structures, and Taj Hotel, the country's most prestigious hotel which is located close to the Gateway of India. This fast paced city has plenty of peaceful places to spend an evening such as Marine Drive, Powai Lake, Juhu Beach, Worli Seaface, Aksa Beach, Uran Beach and others. If you're visiting with your kids, you cannot afford to miss out theme parks like Essel World, gardens like the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Kamla Nehru Park and places that will spark their curiosity such as Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Nehru Science Centre, and Taraporewala Aquarium.

Where to shop in Mumbai

Being a fashion epicenter, Mumbai is certainly the best place to shop for affordable, stylish apparel. Colaba Causeway is one such market where you can pick up anything from exquisite Indo-western wear to jewelry at slashed prices. It is said that if you lose something in Mumbai, you will find it at Chor Bazaar, an iconic market. So head over to buy literally any type of item from car parts to antiques, furniture to shoes and more. Got a fancy occasion coming up? Zaveri Market has glittering baubles that can make you swoon. If you're looking for fancy lehengas and sarees, you must stop by Natraj, Hindmata and Dada Saree Markets for some great one-of-a-kind pieces.

Food

Travelling from Belgaum to Mumbai? You should not miss out on the city's mouthwatering dishes at any cost. Being in Mumbai, savoring vada pao which can be found at every corner of every street has to be first on your to-do list. You must have tried out pav bhaji in various cities but you may not have tried it out from where it originally belongs - Maharashtra. Give it a shot this time! Talking about street food, and missing out panipuri, bhelpuri and frankie, which is a roll served with various fillings, would be a crime. From South Indian fare to International cuisines and fusion food to meals that cater to every diet, you know you will find it with ease in Mumbai.
