Overview
Take a trip to Mumbai on your India Vacation
Previously known as Bombay, this bustling metropolis is situated on the country’s west coast and is comprised of several districts.
Mumbai is the economic, commercial, entertainment, and fashion capital of India. Still acting as India’s primary port city, Mumbai continues to prosper in industries such as textile, engineering, diamond polishing, healthcare and information technology.
Mumbai is home to the world’s largest film production industry. With Bollywood producing 150-200 films a year, many of the industry’s wealthiest reside in palatial houses found in Bandra, one of Mumbai’s richest areas to be experienced on Indian travel.
Colonial architecture can be seen in Mumbai’s south. This beautifully planned area features some of Mumbai’s best-known monuments including the Gateway of India, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus) building, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastu Sanghralaya (formerly, the Prince Of Wales museum). As well, situated in the area, are the Mumbai University buildings, High Court, and the famous Taj Mahal hotel.
Various parks and gardens can be found within Mumbai’s concrete jungle, as well as beaches on trips to India. Mumbai’s bustling markets are a must-see and can offer an interesting insight into the daily life of some of the locals.
A cosmopolitan city now quickly filling the sky with developing skyscrapers, Mumbai is ever-growing, attracting opportunity-driven Indians from all over the country. A melting pot of India’s various cultures, Mumbai offers a diverse lifestyle with a variety of food, entertainment, and nightlife.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way
