Mumbai is one of the most fascinating and diverse cities in India. This modern metropolis lies on the Arabian sea and its influence can be felt in the waves of people who have made this mesmerising city their home. This city encapsulates the contradiction that is present day India – it has the largest slum in Asia, bordered by some of the most expensive real estate in the world. It gives hope to millions through the Bollywood movies pumped out by one of the most prolific film industries in the world, yet also has traditional Koli fishing villages and areas of tropical forest home to wild leopards. Visit Mumbai to experience its intoxicating mix of life lived large – from its crumbling colonial architecture, grand opulent hotels and throbbing Bollywood soundtrack to its slums thriving with life, serene temples and spectacular urban harbour side location.
