Mumbai
Mumbai is the leading city of Maharashtra Unlimited Tourism campaign. About 8.5 lakh international business travelers and holiday tourists are drawn to this financial capital of India every year. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus with its elaborate trademark Victorian architectural style is the single most spectacular landmark of the city. Mumbai alone attracts about 40% international tourists who come on a short or long vacation trip to India. The most popular port for star cruises of India, the burgeoning city is connected to all major cities in India and abroad by rail, road, air, and sea routes.
Mumbai is also renowned as the India’s most happening city. The seat of Indian film industry, it is lovingly known as Bollywood. The raging nightlife, dazzling number of events starring Indian and international celebrities, and unique competitions are all set to put your imagination on fire. Mumbai also presents a picture of contrasts – expansive slums highlighted so vilely in the Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire stand close to posh and sophisticated areas with ‘Who’s Who?’ as their residents. The business travelers find comfort in the world-class luxury hotels popular among nova-rich of the city while pleasure and leisure tourists can opt for some of the most tempting accommodation packages.
The 26 m high Gateway of India is the first landmark to identify Mumbai for visitors who arrive here by ship while Chowpatty Beach is famous for its eternal carnival like atmosphere. Besides the snacks corner quite popular among the locals, international tourists are drawn to this beach to witness the raging jubilations on Coconut Day and the immersion of Ganesha idols on the day after Ganesha Chaturthi. Mahalakshmi and Siddhi Vinayak Temple often come in limelight when some of the most celebrated icons of film industry and cricket come here to pay their homage to the deities.
