The fastest growing, most affluent and industrialized city in India, Mumbai represents the ever-changing face of today's India - the old coupled with the dynamic new. Experience the elements and sights that have shared a long association and characterized the city with a spiritual experience at ISKCON; the temple of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. You'll be able to witness the prayer chanting offered for the welfare of humanity.


Drive up to posh Malabar hill making a stop at the Hanging Gardens to experience the city's most exclusive neighborhood. Sought after since the 18th century for its forested slopes, fresh sea breeze and panoramic views, you’ll find mansions and bungalows built by wealthy merchants and colonial generals alongside modern high-rises.


Stop for photos at the colorful Dhobi Ghat for a once in a lifetime sight where thousands of pieces of clothing are sent each day to be laundered, dried and ironed by Mumbai’s laundry men and women, the dhobi wallahs. You’ll visit Mani Bavan, the Gandhi Memorial, containing a reference library with over 2,000 books, memorabilia and a photo feature on the Mahatma's life. Additional photo stops will be made as you pass by the city’s highlights.


Spend time at the Prince of Wales Museum, opened in 1923, built to commemorate King George V's royal visit to India, and see an impressive collection of artifacts from Elephanta Island and the Jogeshwari Caves, ivory carvings, terracotta figurines from the Indus valley, and a large collection of miniature paintings. You’ll visit another structure built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911 and is a principal landmark in Mumbai, the Gateway of India.
