    I had an excellent experience at Gateway Of India. The staff was professional and provided good service. The guide was knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable.I visited Gateway Of India and was disappointed with the poor service. The staff seemed disinterested and unhelpful. It took a long time to get any assistance, and the overall experience was quite frustrating. I hope they can improve their service for future visitors.Gateway of India is a stunning historical monument with clean facilities and knowledgeable guides. The booking process was easy, but some areas were untidy. Overall, it was a delightful visit with informative insights into Mumbai`s history.

    Marine Drive is a 3.5km long promenade having the Northern end at Girgaon Chowpatty and southern tip is at Nariman Point. Girgaon Chowpatty Beach is famous for local fast food specially Bhel Puri. The promenade is lined with palm trees and has several road side food carts and stalls serving Vada Pao, Sandwich, Ice Cream, Soft Drinks et. Marine Drive is 24 hours vibrant & lively place having people of all ages enjoy the walking, sitting, relaxing and eating there along the sea side with cool breeze blowing along with beautiful view of Arabian Sea. Several Five Star Hotels, other smaller hotels, Cricket Club of India, Wankhede and Brabourne Cricket Stadium, Air India Building etc. attracts the visitors while strolling there. View of sunset in Arabian Sea is a mesmerizing experience. I will recommend it as a must visit place in Mumbai. We enjoyed the time spend there a lot.

    It is indeed a blessing to be there.
    It's a great place to be at .
    The cabs drop you right at the temple entrance and it's a very well regulated process for darshan .
    It appears that best time rush wise would be 1300 hrs to 1600 hrs .
    Following would help the first timers :-
    1. For shoes there are no lockers however open metal racks are available close to the entrance as well as once one gets inside the temple premises. Shoes can be put there at the owners risk and most of the devotees do that. Alternatively shops in the periphery offer to keep the shoes etc in safe custody. They are good and reasonable . No forcing no demand for money for that service. At the entrance there is a locker service to keep valuables .I am not sure if the service is chargeable.
    2. There is no restriction in the carriage of mobiles , bags etc . One has to put belongings in the baggage scanner at the entrance. It is advisable to carry a water bottle especially during the summer months . One can cross this area wearing shoes and then look for a place to keep shoes .
    3. Prasad laddoos are given one per head at the exit . Otherwise there is a mandir trust counter where extra Prasad can be requested for very nominal charges. Other prasad can also be bought from sweet shops inside the premises .
    4. For darshan there are three options :-
    a) Normal Darshan -It may take anything between 30 min to an hour depending upon time of day . The queue area is clean and has fans all over .
    b) Priority Darshan - One needs to pay Rs 100/- head and the wait time as compared to that in Normal Darshan comes down to almost half or one third . There are proper counters that would provide a receipt for money given.
    c) Ashirvachan- By paying Rs 1500/- one can avail this darshan. It's almost walk in and 04 persons can go in one slip. One gets a box of Prasad and a scarf when going in for this . There are temple trust offices to facilitate this service.
    5.Overall amazing management and excellent darshan . Very helpful staff to guide . The shopkeepers around are helpful and they advice and provide all genuine information.
    Blessed to be there
    May Lord Ganpati bless all of us .
    🙏🙏

    Boy what a building. Very very busy place. Worth having a walk around.
    Watch out for rip off taxi fares from here. We walked away and ordered an Uber for a quarter of the price.
    The toilets are an experience some European people may find a shock 😲

    This is my second trip to the caves. This time I was bold and did it without a native speaker with me. I was a little worried but it all was fine.

    I walked to the boats right behind the Arch at 9 am and there was a guy there taking money. Gave him the cash(cash only) and the boat was right there. Easy as can be. Rode the boat to the island, toured the place and rode it back. It's basically impossible to go a stray.

    There are roaming tour guides there who will give you a formal tour. I was a bit toured out at that point so I passed but I heard some of them giving tours and they seemed to know their stuff.

    The entire tour took from 9am to 1pm at a comfortable walking pace. There are a ton of stairs but if you need them there are these palanquins that let 4 freakishly strong Indian men carry you up the mountain.

    I would highly recommend.

    The Bandra Worli Sea Link is an architectural masterpiece that beautifully connects Mumbai's skyline. By day, it stands as a symbol of engineering brilliance, and by night, the illuminated lights create a mesmerizing experience, making it a must see landmark.

    Wednesday 1st March and we took the train from Santa Cruz to Churchgate in the heart of Mumbai.

    From the Station we walked to Colaba, which is situated at the southern tip of the City.

    We walked along enjoying the sights and the atmosphere of the City. It took us about an hour as we stopped so many times to have a look at something of interest.

    Colabo combines all elements and aspects of life from top hotels, historic monuments, art galleries to a bustling street market. It is a diverse neighborhood across the spectrum of life from the affluent to the Bohemian and street life.

    There are a number of famous landmarks and points of interest here, including the Gateway of India, Taj Mahal Hotel, Leopolds Cafe and Colaba Causeway.

    From the port area, by the Gateway to India, lots of small boats provide a ferry service to the wonderful Elephanta Island.

    Kanheri Leni Caves is a good picnic spot to spend half a day. Unlike typical Leni or caves, these are very well maintained and has informative boards that show historical references. There are free toilets and a small food outlet.

    Location: Kanheri Caves are located within Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali East, Mumbai, Maharashtra.
    Entry Fee:
    Indian Citizens: INR 15
    Foreign Tourists: INR 200
    Timings: The Kanheri Caves are open from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily, except Mondays.

    There is a place in Singapore called Dohby Ghaut, a reference to the place where traditional Indian open air laundry used to be undertaken in yesteryears; It has since disappeared & replaced by a MRT station. Visiting the Dhobi Ghat in Mumbai brings to life what the Singapore location could have looked like in the past.
