Mumbai - Miraculous and diverse, a guide to the Mayanagri of India


“More dreams are realised and extinguished in Mumbai than any other place in India”. - Gregory David Roberts

Mumbai has several nicknames that define it correctly, “City of Seven Islands”, “Financial Capital of
India”, “City of Dreams”, “City of Slums and Skyscrapers”, “Gateway of India”, “Hollywood of India”, and “Maximum City”. Capture the colourful kaleidoscope of the city - Mumbai and get ready for a cutting chai (Tea).

Enjoy a Ride in the Local Train
The Mumbai local is the city’s major transport channel, carrying about 8 million passengers per day. One just needs to board one of the “locals” to sight the city come together. It is highly crowded, noisy and stifling, but still there is a famous saying that “If you haven’t travelled on a local, you haven’t seen Mumbai yet”.

The Famous Sites - Gateway of India and the Elephanta Caves
The Gateway of India is a landmark that stands for the spirit of Mumbai. It is a building that showcases the union of Hindu and Islamic style of architecture, built using yellow equilibrium and reinforced details. The Gateway is the starting point for the ferries that take you to the ancient Elephanta Caves. Don’t forget to explore the Trimurti; a masterstroke sculpture carved on the back walls.
