Mumbai Holidays

Mumbai, the city of dreams and chaos, where the sea meets the sky and the honking never stops, where Bollywood stars rub shoulders with street food vendors and everyone has a story to tell.

Delve into a melting pot where the streets are as crowded as the trains and the food is as spicy as the people! From the iconic Gateway of India to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Elephanta caves and the bustling Crawford Market, it’s the city that never sleeps.

Take a joyride on a local train during rush hour, where you'll witness an incredible dance of humanity as people jostle and sway to the rhythm of daily hustle or indulge your taste buds in dishes that delight like no other. Dive into the narrow alleys of Mumbai's street food paradise, where you can feast on mouthwatering Vada Pav, a spicy and flavoursome street snack that will make your taste buds do a happy dance.

And when the craving for something sweet hits, don't miss out on the creamy and decadent Kulfi, a traditional Indian ice cream that comes in a variety of flavours. When it’s time to get away from the hustle bustle and soak in the twinkling lights of the city, head to Marine Drive also known as the Queen’s Necklace for a stroll and grab your cutting chai. Put on your shades and live your Mumbai diaries by experiencing the magic of city that would never fail to surprise.
