Mumbai, aka Bollywood, is the commercial capital of the country. It is buzzing through the day and has a vibrant night life. It is also known as the city that never sleeps.
So if you are new to the city , then these are a list of things you must do !!
1. Travel by the Victoria Carriage: These carriages are very easliy visible in South Mumbai, around Gateway of India. The carriage guy may try to fleece you, so bargain with him. But this ride is worth ever bit of penny you have spent on it.
2. Travel by the local train: Mumbai's local trans are its lifeline. Ferrying millions of passengers through out the city, you must try to partake of this madness. But do remember to travel by first class and definitely avoid a Virar Train. A Virar train is good for the thick skinned locals otherwise you may get toatlly unnerved.
3. Festivals: You must try to visit Mumbai during any festival. all festivals are celebrated with great gusto, gaitey, colour and enthusiasm. Holi, Diwali, Eid, Ganpati, Christmas or Mount Mary Fest - each one of them is worth experiencing.
4.Bollywood Abodes: In Mumbai, you must visit the homes of Bollywood stars. Juhu is home to Prateeksha, Jalsa- houses of Amitabh Bachchan. Mannat on Bandstand is Shahrukh's house , the list is long, and if you are lucky you may just spot your fav star entering or exiting from his house.
5. Eat Mumbai's street food: Chaat, pav bhaji, dosas, bombay sandwich,indian chinese, rolls, kebabs- you name it and they have got it. Delicious and easily available, Mumbai's street food is hard to miss.
