Mahalakshmi Dhobi Ghat is an open-air laundry that takes up an entire block. The largest in the world. Just imagine: hereditary laundresses work here! They are brought in clothes for washing from all over Mumbai. (Laundry runs until 9 a.m.)
Slums in Dharavi: India without beauty, as the hero of the book "Shantaram" saw it. About 1 million people live on the territory of 215 hectares. These are the largest slums in the world, where rent is less than $ 4 per month. It was here that Rukhmanbai lived, the heroine of the book, which gave the name to the foreigner who had arrived - Shantaram.
The historic Chhatrapati Shivaji station is one of the most beautiful buildings in Mumbai and the largest train station in India. It took 10 years to build. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The High Court of Bombay is more like a colonial-style palace. Towers with spiers, stone carving. On one of the bas-reliefs, you will see a one-eyed monkey holding the scales of justice. The building is surrounded by a palm tree lane.
The Colaba area, where the main actions of the book "Shantaram" took place. Located on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Since ancient times, visiting Europeans have settled here, and now there are hotels, restaurants and shops for tourists for any income.
The Triumphal Arch of Gateway to India is the main decoration of the city. Through them they left the country after its independence.
The hotel is located very close to the Gateway of India Monument. It is the most expensive and popular hotel in Mumbai.

The organization and the tour itself at the highest level !) thank you very much for the professionalism of the entire team and guide Sanjay. I had an incredible time walking around Mumbai with him and socializing! In one day, I had time to see everything, which would not have been realistic given the traffic in Mumbai, but the guide and driver took this into account and built the route in the best possible way. Mumbai - city of contrasts, colorful Colaba, slum of Dharavi, had time to dine at Café Leopold, which was my long dream. 100% happy!))
