    Beautiful gate in the city of Mumbai, the surrounding area during the day can get extremely busy. At night, there is hardly anyone around and you can take some lovely photos

    Marine Drive is a beautiful seaside promenade with the Arabian Sea on the one side and the bustling megacity, Bombay passing by. When I visited there was construction underway on a portion of the promenade but there were walkaways that had ben erected for safe walking. It is most visited by locals, seniors on walks and young people all dressed up in their finest. It is a great place to people watch

    Simply impressive. It reminds of the glorious times of this part of the world and the majestic architecture. The walk in the area all the way to the gateway is absolutely worth it. Just choose the time and temperature wisely. If you’re not used it, you’ll swear your eyes off.

    I had recent been to Monsoon Midnight cycling or Midnight Cycling Tour with Mischief Treks. This event was a totally awesome experience, its a good way to explore MUMBAI and it's major attractions in a different way. I would like to share the details about the event it starts at 11pm on saturday from Colaba and ends the other day at 4 in the Morning. People who would like to join in for the event can do so by booking it from their Website. Now coming to my experience, we were a bunch of girls who went to the event as we wanted to see the nightlife of mumbai. Earlier our parents were skeptical to let us go out at night but they did allow us and let me tell you guys the event leader made us feel safe throughout the event. We had common names, such a coincidence haha. Jahnvi did exceptionally good on her role, her passion for her work and dedication is really commendable. She and Nitesh from Mischief Treks team managed the entire event well. The event leds were friendly, calm, approachable and helped us to gel up with everyone easily , this made the entire event experience way better. The timing was perfect, event started according to the itinerary and ended on the perfect time. We got to hear alot of stories from the leads. They were really careful about the safety and security of each individual and gave us a safety and instruction briefing before we started the tour. Once everyone reached we got our Cycles. The cycles too were in extremely good conditions.
    We started from Colaba around 11:30 and covered places mentioned in their itinerary, like Nariman point, Marine Lines, Girgaon Chowpatty, Hanging Garden, CSMT, Flora Fountain, Asiatic Library, Gateway of India and Taj Hotel. The locations mentioned were covered within time paying proper attention to good amount of break for people to rest. We had some amazing bunch of people with us. We got to know different like minded people on the event, made few new friends, learnt about people and their experiences from different walks of life. They were also particular about small batch size for safety reasons, I loved this idea and many times organisers end up taking 50-100 people on an event and small batch size is a major contributor for good experience.
    I'll sum up this review by saying that if you are someone who wishes to experience night life of mumbai whether you are new to mumbai, traveling here for work, or stay in mumbai since long this event is something which you should definitely try. It's worth the time and money invested. Kudos to the Mischief Trek Team for arranging such events. I got to know on the tour that they specialise into treks, camping and tours too and after my NIght cycling experience with them I'm surely looking forward to doing many more events with them.
    Hoping you find this review helpful, anyone reading this have a nice day!!

    We visited the Global Pagoda and must say it was one to not forget.

    It is a little away from main Mumbai and one has to travel quite a bit to reach there. But it is worth every bit.

    There is the main pagoda which can house thousands of meditators to practice meditation. There are gardens and also a special room showing the life of Gautam the Buddha via paintings. There are souvenir shops where one can buy some good items.

    There is enough to do and see for atleast 3-4 hours.

    We need to ensure that we maintain silence and wear appropriate clothing while around the main dome, as this is a place where we might find people meditating in the dome, and should not disturb them.

    It's one of the most famous church in Mumbai located about 80 meters above sea level on a hillock with beautiful view of Arabian Sea. It was originally built in 16th century. The current structure is about 100 years old. T he beautiful shrine of Mother Mary with Baby Jesus is full of divine grace. The people of all faith come here from all over the world. On every 8th of September. a weeklong fair takes place when thousand of devotees visit this place.

    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.

    Beautiful temple with amazing people out to help at all times. We visited in February and were amazed at the cleaniness and positive vibes. People seemed at peace and were very friendly.

    Good in parts and not-so-good in parts, Juhu beach combines a vibrant ambience, a plethora of eateries and a chance to stroll alongside the sea with a poorly maintained beach.

    Not a usual tourist spot but fascinating nonetheless and important to hear of this historic function still going on in modern day Mumbai.
    Beware all the street hawkers, especially the numerous small children to tug at your heart strings...

    Went on a non-peak season and a non-peak hour .It was very organised took the lift upstairs and kept the shoes with the shoe keeper. Did a very quick darshan and returned bythe steps.Absolutely awesome!
    The only remorse is of course the surroundings could have been cleaner:(

    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.

    The popcorn guy outside TimeZone talks very badly with women. He should be removed from the mall immediately. Very bad experience.
