Begin the tour by witnessing how
local Dabbawala (Tiffin-delivery people) get Lunch Box from Suburbs of Mumbai and then separate them area wise and building wise. Drive past
Secretariat of Maharashtra Government and along the
Marine Drive which is fondly known as the
'Queen's Necklace'. Visit
Jain temple and
Hanging Gardens, which offers a splendid view of the city,
Chowpatty, Kamala Nehru Park and also visit
Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during his visits to Mumbai. Drive past
Haji Ali Mosque, a shrine in honour of a Muslim Saint on an island 500 m. out at sea and is linked by a causeway to the mainland. Stop at the '
Dhobi Ghat' where Mumbai's 'dirties' are scrubbed, bashed, dyed and hung out to dry. Watch the local train passing close by on which the city commuters 'hang out like laundry' - a nice photography stop. Continue to the colorful
Crawford market and to the
Flora fountain in the large bustling square, in the heart of the city. Visit to
Prince of Wales museum (closed on Mondays). Thereafter visit
Gateway of India, Mumbai's principle landmark. This arch of yellow basalt was erected on the waterfront in 1924 to commemorate King George V's visit to Mumbai in 1911.
