5 Days | Mumbai · Elephanta Caves · Lonavala | From $600 per person
Mumbai — formerly Bombay — is India's most dynamic, cosmopolitan and energetic city. As India's financial capital and home of Bollywood, it is a city of extraordinary contrasts: Victorian Gothic architecture stands beside gleaming glass towers; luxury hotels overlook ancient fishing villages; world-class restaurants sit steps from colourful street food stalls.
This 5-day tour takes you deep into the heart of Mumbai — from the iconic Gateway of India and the exclusive Taj Mahal Palace Hotel to the ancient rock-cut temples of Elephanta Island (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the scenic hill station of Lonavala. Along the way, experience the real Mumbai — its street life, markets, Bollywood culture and extraordinary food scene.
This is the ideal first India experience — or a perfect standalone city break for those with limited time.
