Having a good time in Mumbai
or Bombay is fairly easy simply because Mumbai has a lot to offer. There
is also no major hindrance to finding your way around. English is commonly
used and even an average man on the street can speak and understand it
well enough to guide you. Some areas that are a must to experience
include.
Chowpatty Beach
Come August/September,
Chowpatty Beach comes alive as the devout Hindu population of Mumbai comes
thronging to its sands to immerse their larger than life idols of Ganesha
and incur his blessings. On every other ordinary evening Chowpatty is
where the common man comes to eat and be entertained. A gastronomic
paradise of bhelpuri, a savory snack made from puffed rice with loads of
onions, coriander, a medley of spices topped with sweet and sour tamarind
sauce, chuski ice balls dipped in syrup, pao bhaji buttered buns served
with a spicy potato side dish or pungent chutney sandwiches. Chowpatty is
an experience that should not be missed.
Hanging
Gardens
Also known as the Ferozeshah
Mehta Gardens, they are built over 3 reservoirs, which store billions of
gallons of water for cleaning before they are pumped to the thirsty city
of Mumbai.
Colaba
The hub of tourist activity in
Mumbai, Colaba is known for its street stalls, cafes and kitsch ambience.
Colaba is also home to the most pocket friendly guesthouses and economy
hotels.
Crawford Market
With a 50 feet high sky lit
awning, Crawford Market is the place to shop for a wide variety of fruit,
vegetables and meat. It is famous for the frieze just above its main entry
point that has been designed by Lockyard Kipling father of the famous
author Rudyard Kipling. It depicts the rural Indian farmer amidst the
wheat fields. The building is a blend of Flemish and Norman architecture.
Named after Arthur Crawford, the first Municipal Commissioner of Bombay,
the building, which was completed in 1869, was donated by Cowasji Jehangir
to the city.
