 City Information
Mumbai is the fast paced commercial, financial, industrial and celluloid capital of India.
Lured by its glamour and the prospects of 'streets paved with gold', a large number of
people from different parts of the country come to settle in this city every year. And
Mumbai continues to grow, to absorb and most importantly to prosper. Just when you begin
to wonder how you're ever going to cope with Mumbai, you arrive at Worli and see Haji Ali
Mosque standing proudly on a raised walkway in the middle of the sea giving you the
feeling that the Gods are there if everything else fails. If you arrive at night, there
will be a backdrop of twinkling lights from the skyscrapers that are so much a feature of
Mumbai's skyline. The scenes change as you drive past Chowpatty Beach, ablaze with the
lights of stalls selling fruit-juice, ice cream and snacks to the crowds thronging the
beach. By the time you reach Marine Drive, your spirits will be restored and the rush of
traffic won't seem half so daunting as it might have been earlier, and the sedate
horse-drawn landau will seem a charming anachronism.
 Once you are in Mumbai, the list of sites to visit is endless.
First of all the twinkling lights from the skyscrapers itself will keep your eyes wide
open with excitement and wonder. And to add up to your excitement you have a number of
sites to visit that could be teamed up as historical sites, contemporary wonders,
archaeological sites, religious sites and natural wonders. The Gateway of India is the
main attraction of Mumbai city. Built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen
Mary for the Delhi Durbar in the year 1911, this massive historical monument makes a must
visit during your Mumbai sightseeing. The Mani Bhawan or the Gandhi memorial was once used
to be the residence of Mahatma Gandhi in Mumbai. Considered as one of the best museums in
the country, Prince of Wales Museum has vast collections of interesting objects on varied
subjects. Also known as Queen's Neckless, Marine Drive is a winding stretch of roads with
tall buildings on its one side while Arabian Sea on the other. Juhu is a 5-km-long beach
that attracts a large number of visitors on any day of the week. The gardens like the
Hanging Garden and the Kamla Nehru Garden will provide you the much needed rest between
your sightseeing trips and the Chowpatty gives you the view of one of the most happening
beaches of Mumbai. Aarey Milk colony is one of the most modern milk colonies in the world.
Tower of Silence is the place where Parsis leave the dead bodies of their relatives, now
mostly in depleted conditions. Jain Temple of Mumbai is located in the Malabar Hills and
showcases stories from the life of 24 tirthankaras.
