Mumbai in a Day

by David Webb on May 22, 2013

Mumbai Gateway to India

With only one day left on our trip through India, we try to cram in as much of Mumbai as we can. Can you do Mumbai in a day?

  • Accommodation Recommendations

Erin and I wedged Mumbai into our month-long trip to India as a bit of an afterthought.

In This India Article You Will Discover:

Specific time does not exist in Goa. The sun rises, and the sun sets. That is all you need to know. And that in itself is a reason to spend days, or weeks, on the sandy shoreline of India’s smallest state, watching the palms sway, the waves crash and the tide ebb and flow.
