Continuing with my series on ‘Touring the City of Mumbai’ I guide you to some places in Mumbai that you can also explore on your
own. I have lived in Mumbai for most of my life and have loved every moment.
Many times I get guests from abroad who want to see the city. I don’t always go
out with them but yes I do guide them at no extra cost.
All I give is the information on where to go. What to do
and what you see, is for your eyes only. You can always come back and share your
pictures with me. I will be happy to post your experiences on my blog.
So, lets start our tour from Nariman point..
First things first. Rent a car. You can either book a
car for one full day, or you can call a cab, 30minutes before the ride from any
venue for a short trip. There are many taxi services in Mumbai (Read about Taxiservices in Mumbai from my earlier post.)
I would prefer to rent a car if I just want to drive
around the city, but if I have to see the depth of the place, I would rather
call for a cab for shorter distances.
So lets start from Nariman point at 7am
Drop the cab and walk around the sea shore. Take a boat
ride to enjoy the sea.
Opposite Gateway of India is the beautiful architecture, you can admire of TajMahal hotel
Would you like to go for breakfast of egg and sausages
in a coffee shop at Taj Mahal Hotel? Or else, there are many more restaurants
around that area…...take your pick.
Call for a cab at 10am
Ask him at take you to
Victoria Garden, (also called Veermata Jijbai udyan) at Byculla in the heart of
Mumbai. Some time can be spend in this beautiful garden that has botanical
garden, zoo, and also AlbertMuseum now known as The Bhau Daji Lad Museum that contains large collection of archeological
artifacts
A light lunch would be advisable, perhaps a sandwich or
some light street food. There is an Iranian restaurant in Byculla where you
could try some cakes and pastries.
At 4pm call for cab to take you to Malabar hill via
Mahalaxmi
Where you can see Dhobi Ghat, a big laundry area.
And pass via Hajii Ali
Or else, proceed to Kamala Nehru Park at Malabar hill.
Drop the cab.
Spend some time walking around the park
Spend some time walking around the park
And Hanging gardens
And enjoy the great view of Chowpathy from up above.
At 6pm call for a cab to take you to back to Nariman
point.
On you route you can pass via heritage sites like
Victoria Terminus now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
Elphinstone College
Mumbai University
Rajabhai tower
and via Marine drive, back to Nariman point. Now relax and have lovely
dinner at Trident……
