Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Gateway of India, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai 400001 India

The Gateway of India is the unofficial icon of the city on the shores of the Arabian Sea. The majestic, arched structure made of basalt was built to commemorate the visit of King George V in 1911. It later became the symbolic entrance to India for British Viceroys and Governor-Generals. The beautiful facade of the Taj Mahal hotel can be seen in the backdrop.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Elephanta Caves, Mumbai India

From the Gateway of India, board a ferry for the one hour ride to Elephanta Island, home to the 2nd century B.C. Elephanta Caves. The caves have Hindu sculptures as well as Buddhist stupas that show how the plurality of faiths has been deeply ingrained in the Indian psyche from as early as the 2nd century B.C. Visit the ancient Buddhist monasteries and marvel at the Hindu temples and sculptures made in these rock cut caves. The caves remain closed on Mondays.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, DN Road Mumbai CST Area, Mumbai India

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, previously known as Victoria Terminus, is the busy railway station of Mumbai. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is a blend of Gothic and Indian architectural styles. The central dome and the numerous pointed arches and turrets make it a well-known facade of Mumbai.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Dharavi, Mumbai India

The tour of Dharavi slum starts at Mahim Railway Station. Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay). It is home to more than a million people. Many are second generation residents, whose parents moved in years ago.

The Dharavi slum was founded in 1883 during the British colonial era, and grew in part because of an expulsion of factories and residents from the peninsular city center by the colonial government, and from the migration of poor rural Indians into urban Mumbai. For this reason, Dharavi is a highly multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and diverse settlement. It has an active informal economy in which numerous household enterprises employ many of the slum residents. Leather goods, embroidered garments, textiles, pottery and plastic products are among the goods made inside Dharavi. Most of these products are made in tiny manufacturing units spread across the slum and are sold in domestic as well as international markets.
