Destination guide

Know before you go

Popular for Mumbai city energy, sea views and green hill escapes

What you can do

  • See the Gateway of India, Colaba and the Marine Drive sweep at sunset
  • Take the ferry to Elephanta caves, which needs half a day
  • Ride a suburban train once, off peak, for the real feel of the city
  • Drive up to Lonavala for Bhushi dam, Tiger Point and the Karla caves

Food to try

Mumbai is a street food capital: vada pav, pav bhaji, bhel puri on Chowpatty and Irani cafe bun maska. Add Malvani coastal seafood, Parsi dhansak and the Mohammed Ali Road kebabs during Ramadan.

Culture & customs

Mumbai runs on ambition, film and the daily commute, and its colonial Gothic and art deco fronts are on the UNESCO list. Ganesh Chaturthi in late summer takes over the entire city for ten days.

Best time to visit

October to February

Winter is dry and mild. June to September is a serious monsoon that floods parts of the city, though Lonavala is at its greenest exactly then, which is why locals drive up.
