Itinerary
1
Gateway of India
Standing tall on the waterfront, the Gateway of India is Mumbai’s most iconic monument. Built in 1924 to commemorate King George V’s visit, it offers sweeping views of the Arabian Sea and is the perfect introduction to the city’s colonial past.
Right across the road, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel dazzles with its Indo-Saracenic architecture. Guests can admire its grand façade and domes from outside, soaking in the atmosphere of one of India’s most legendary hotels.
45 minutes
2
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
A short drive brings you to CST, a UNESCO World Heritage railway station. Its Victorian Gothic design, complete with turrets, stained glass, and intricate stonework, makes it one of the most photographed landmarks in Mumbai.
Guests can enjoy the exterior view and capture photos of this bustling hub, which still serves as the beating heart of Mumbai’s railway network.
45 minutes
3
Flora Fountain
Driving through the Fort business district, you’ll pass Flora Fountain and Horniman Circle, both steeped in colonial history. These structures showcase Mumbai’s transformation from a trading port to a financial capital.
Nearby, the Rajabai Clock Tower and Mumbai High Court rise majestically over Oval Maidan, offering a glimpse of Gothic architecture blended with Indian influences. This stop is best enjoyed as a drive‑by with short pauses for photos.
45 minutes
4
Kala Ghoda
By midday, it’s time to relax over lunch. The Kala Ghoda and Fort area is home to some of Mumbai’s finest restaurants. Guests can choose Trishna for seafood delicacies, Khyber for North Indian classics, or Kala Ghoda Café for a lighter, artsy vibe.
This break offers not just food but also a chance to absorb the heritage ambiance of the district before continuing the journey.
1 hour
5
Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum
Next, head north to Mani Bhavan, Mahatma Gandhi’s historic residence in Mumbai. This modest house played a pivotal role in India’s freedom movement, serving as Gandhi’s headquarters between 1917 and 1934.
Inside, guests can explore exhibits, photographs, and personal artifacts that narrate Gandhi’s life and philosophy. It’s a deeply moving stop that connects history with values of simplicity and resilience.
45 minutes
6
Dhobi Ghat
The final stop is Dhobi Ghat, the world’s largest open‑air laundry. Here, hundreds of washermen (dhobis) work in rows of concrete wash pens, scrubbing, rinsing, and drying clothes in a rhythm that has remained unchanged for generations.
Guests can observe this fascinating slice of Mumbai’s daily life from a viewing point, capturing the unique energy of the city before concluding the half‑day tour.
