Suggested Activity #1 A walking tour
The old heritage buildings of Mumbai are some of the most charming structures built on Indian soil. Most of these buildings have pages of history attached to them. Like the Bombay House that has been the head office of the Tata Group since 1924. It is among these lanes that you’ll find the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) which was once India’s tallest tower. These quaint lanes dotted with famous Irani restaurants and cafes and add further to the charms of an area that has historically had the highest density of millionaires in the country! Historical buildings such as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) that was formerly called the Victoria Terminus (VT) and the Asiatic Society Library draw a considerable number of tourists towards their fold.

Suggested Activity #2 Ferry ride to Elephanta Caves.
A ferry ride on the Arabian Sea is a must especially for those who haven’t experienced deep waters. The sight of no land around you while you’re standing on the deck of a wobbly boat is quite an adventure in itself. The Elephanta Island is famous for the Elephanta Caves, a designated world heritage site. Colaba, the area around the Gateway of India, is a great place to hang out at any time of the day. So after you’re back from the ferry ride and still in a mood to explore, there are a lot of thing you can do here. From unwinding over a cup of latte at Starbucks behind the Taj hotel to feasting on some great sizzlers at the Alps restaurant. Leopold’s, Mondegar and Bade Miyaan are also in the vicinity.

Suggested Activity #3 Sunrise / Sunset at the seafront
Mumbai derives its character from the great sea shores that offer instant relief from the daily grinds of city life. Some of the most popular beaches / seafronts in Mumbai are located at Juhu, Girgaum and Bandra. The Juhu and Girgaum beaches are popularly known as ‘Chowpatty’ and the seafront to go for while in Bandra is the Bandra Bandstand where you’ll find hordes of fans waiting outside Shahrukh Khan’s as well as Salman Khan’s residence. The Juhu and Girgaum chowpattys are fun places to visit in the evenings where the environment is akin to that of a carnival especially on weekends. The favorite thing to do here is to binge on the famous ‘chowpatty bhelpuris’. On the other hand the Bandra Bandstand is a quieter place fit for an evening stroll and settling down for a cup of coffee by the sea.

Suggested Activity #3 Visit Marine Drive
Marine drive is Mumbai’s most famous landmark along with the Gateway of India and the Taj hotel. But sitting idle and staring at the waves is something you can do endlessly. That’s the beauty of Marine drive. After sunset the famous road lights up with thousands of street lamps and it is this view of the road from the top that is referred to as ‘Queen’s necklace’.
