FEW OF THE ATTRACTIONS IN MUMBAI

GATEWAY OF INDIA
The Gateway of India is the Principal landmark of India. It was built as a triumphal arch to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, complete with four turrets and intricate latticework carved into the yellow basalt stone. Today this symbol of colonialism has got Indianised, drawing droves of local tourists and citizens.

HANGING GARDENS
Perched at the top of Malabar Hill, on its western side, just opposite the Kamala Nehru Park, these terraced gardens, also known as Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens, provide lovely sunset views over the Arabian Sea. The park was laid out in the early 1880s over Bombay's main reservoir, some say to cover the water from the potentially contaminating activity of the nearby Towers of Silence.

CHOWPATTY BEACH
Chowpatty is still a favourite spot for anyone out to enjoy what passes for fresh air. Get the full experience by strolling through the many beachside stalls for some bhelpuri or a head massage. The water is not the cleanest but the beach is litter-free, patrolled by lifeguards and lit up at night. Visiting Chowpatty in the evening is an essential part of any trip to Mumbai.

HAJI ALI MOSQUE
The Haji Ali Mosque is situated on an islet near the coast of Worli in Mumbai.Despite the fact that this structure is a mosque and dargah, it is extremely famous amongst the Hindu population in Mumbai, Maharashtra and South Gujarat. Haji Ali Dargah is one of the most popular religious places in Mumbai, visited by Hindus and Muslims alike.
