Essentials in Mumbai

Ghandi Museum: The former home of leader Ghandi is now the Ghandi Museum and a must see attraction for most.

Nature: Any lakes, parks and religious sites provide a feeling of peaceful tranquillity in Mumbai that is incomparable. Flamingo watching in the beautiful Chembur is also not to be missed.

Caves: Mumbai itself is a young city, in terms of land not politics. Three centuries ago most of the city was underwater which is why you can find incredibly caves cut from rock right within the city limits. Many of these are sacred places, often filled with incredible carvings. Elephanta, Kanheri and Mahakali for example and among the most popular.
