Mumbai was given the name City of Dreams owing to the fabulous opportunity it holds, mainly in Hindi cinema. The city is the capital of Maharashtra and passes the jumping waves of the Arabian Sea. Its cityscape might remind us of that of New York. But along with the dashing nooks, Mumbai has cherished its heritage and history and takes endless pride in all of that. It is undeniable that this very city gives a cut-throat competition to even the most advanced cities worldwide, let alone India.

Today, we will start our day with a lavish breakfast. Then, we will leave for sightseeing in Mumbai. We will cover the best tourist sights in the city the entire day. We will start with the visit to UNESCO World Heritage Site Elephanta Caves in the Elephanta Caves. Then, we will move on to explore the Prince of Wales Museum, Hanging Garden, Juhu Beach, Gateway of India, and more. We will also pay a visit to the Marine Drive

Elephant Cave is located in Gharapuri (The City of Caves), approximately ten kilometers away from Mumbai Harbor. The caves consist mainly of two groups, Hindu Caves (consisting of five caves) and Buddhist Caves (consisting of two caves). This rock-cut architecture adopted for the caves is datable to a time between the 5th and 8th centuries and dedicated to Lord Shiva. However, a convenient date of its construction is yet a mystery but historians have terminated them to the time when Mauryan rulers were conquered by Badami Chalukyas in 635 AD. At that time, the Elephanta was the capital of Konkan Mauryas and was called Puri or Purina. The caves present are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The next attraction of our Mumbai Goa tour is the Prince of Wales Museum, also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. It was established in the 20th century in order to celebrate the visit of Prince Wales. There are about 50,000 displays inside the museum divided into three categories- Art, Archeology, and Natural History. Artifacts and Momento of Indus Valley Civilization, Guptas, Rashtrakutas, Mauryas, Chalukyas, and others are put here for the public array. Other than this, we can behold beautiful prints, the illustration of different wildlife species, paintings, manuscripts, etc.

The landmark of Mumbai, ‘The Gateway of India’ is just a few kilometers away from the museum. This structure was built in order to commemorate the visit of their Majestic King George V and Queen Mary in 1911. We will explore the Hanging Garden in our leisure time, which is perched at the top of Malabar Hill, overlooking the beautiful Arabian Sea. This polished terrace garden is adorned with a huge variety of plants and flower species.  The popular beach of Mumbai, “Juhu Beach” is crowded with visitors. Here, some of Mumbai’s best street food and restaurants are located. Also, Marine Drive is located in the heart of Mumbai, just beside a busy road. But the horns and shouts of the city’s road don’t really obstruct the serenity that is obtained here while sipping a cup of coffee and just simply unraveling. Overnight in a hotel. 

Leaving behind Mumbai, we will proceed towards Mumbai airport to board the flight for Goa. On our arrival in Goa, we will meet one of our tour representatives and transfer to the hotel for the stay. The rest of the day is free to either rest or explore.

Goa and its beaches pull enormous crowd from different corners of the world. The state is a well-known destination of India, specifically for the beach- persons and party-animals.
