    Sidhi vinayak Temple has a very Peaceful and elevating atmosphere. It is a must visit place located in Prabhadevi near Dadar local station. The arrangement of queue is effective for crowd management.

    A diverse suburb of Mumbai that is great to explore
    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.

    Wonderful,in one word.
    Memorable stay. Since my wife accompanied me this time, they went out of the way to welcome her.
    • I had one of the companies where I am on Board to have our Bd mtg at this hotel. Top floor has the mtg room with a breathtaking view of the ocean( Arabian sea). Excellent faclities for video conferencing etc.
    Highly recommended. Location of the Trident Nariman Point is ideal, close to the business district in Mumbai.
    Charges are very very reasonable.
    At the Frangipani restaurant, please ask the Chef to prepare 2 Bengali ( Kolkatta) dishes for you viz Kosha Mangsho(mutton) and Macher jhol(fish). Delicious.

    Great place, monkeys & dogs
    there are souvenir shops throughout the way to the caves. I think this is the best place in Mumbai to buy gifts for your loved ones. monkeys and lovely poor dogs are at the top of the stairs.
    important note: while you are planning to feed the monkeys please make sure you have dog food as well. No one knows them so puppies just watch the monkeys eating :(

    Busy area
    The causeway just really busy with newer shops as well as a street market and plenty of restaurants. It is quite an experience since the place is very packed with stalls on either side of the footpath, so pedestrians have a narrow path to go in either direction. The road is quite busy, but some people were walking on the street side, but you do lose the experience.
    The stalls sell a variety of items like clothes and accessories to pans and fruit. The shops are also accessible if you're able to get through the crowds to the store entrances.
    There are plenty of things to experience around here and worth a visit if you're in the area, particularly if you have come from the Gateway of India.

    Worth visiting
    Worth visiting. This is located inside Sanjay Gandhi national park. Here you will have to pay an entry fee. Once you are in, you have 2 options of reaching Kanheri caves. One is by bus and other by private vehicle. We opted for private vehicle where they take you to Trimurti Jain temple, some deer sightseeing on the way, Kanheri caves and back to National park safari for a charge of 1300. Kanheri has a total of 109 caves. They are many caves you will find with Budha statues and stupas. Important caves - I felt that cave 90 had more beautiful sculptures than the combined rest. Cave 34 has an colour painting on the ceiling. Need minimum of 3 hours to cover all.

    Hyperlocal
    I am a sucker for watching the local lives, so this was an interesting stop. It is an easy access from Mahalaxmi Station with a viewing gallery overlooking the Dhobi Ghat. There are a few vendors who would try to sell you things, but otherwise this is a quirky attraction for those who want to observe the world's largest open air laundry.

    Mahalaxmi temple
    Temple of Mahalaxmi devi in South Mumbai is one of the oldest in the city. One can walk in at any point of time in the day. There are some stairs but not many, hence even senior citizens can visit the temple conveniently. Garlands and sweets for offerings are available outside the temple.
