Detailed Description

About the Activity

Mumbai never sleeps and has a different atmosphere at night time. As the heat of the day evaporates, teenagers, lovers, families and the elderly head out to enjoy the weather. Places like Marine Drive are crowded with Mumbaikars walking around or sitting and enjoying the gold-edged and rose-coloured sunset.

As some people head home to sleep, some carry out religious duties, and others work in the markets, factories or call centres. Witness the calm of Banganga Tank and Jain Temple, the chaos of CST station, and the eerie beauty and sadness of Mumbai's famous red light district.

Experience the incredible contrast between modern, cosmopolitan and the traditional India.

HIGHLIGHTS

CHOWPATTY BEACH

Witness friends and families enjoying this action-packed beach, consuming coconuts, ice cream and Indian snacks such as bhel puri.

BANGANGA TANK

The water from this famous tank, originally built in 1127 and surrounded by Hindu temples, is believed to have special healing powers. Rumour has it that its spring comes from the holy Ganges river.

JAIN TEMPLE

This is considered one of the most beautiful, intricately-decorated temples in the city. Jainism, an Indian religion, prizes peacefulness and non-violence above all.

ANTILIA BUILDING

Get a street view of the two billion dollar home of business tycoon Mukesh Ambani- ostentatious monstrosity or architectural masterpiece?

KAMATHIPURA (RED LIGHT AREA)

Talked about only in hushed tones, the Kamathipura district has been the subject of countless films, literary projects and art pieces. Kamathipura is the largest red light district in the world.

CST STATION

See one of the busiest railway stations in the country at rush hour, and the site of the terrorist attacks in November 2008. The award-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire" was also shot here. Based on St Pancreas Station in London, this World Heritage Site is gloriously lit up in the evening, and you will enjoy this view with a cold drink at the end of the tour.
