Best Luxury Experience
An evening on the luxurious Taj Exotica Yacht.

The Taj Exotica Yacht leaves the Gateway of India, gliding across the harbour fringed with lights, and passes islands, dockyards and lighthouses. Dine under the stars, be lulled into sleep by the waves, wake to watch the sunrise.

Best Way To Spend A Morning If That's All You Have
Hanging Garden, Kamala Nehru Garden, Malabar Hill, Mumbai.

Popular with joggers due to its panoramic views.

Best Place To Take The Kids
Essel World and Water Kingdom.

Both are popular theme parks on and island off the coast of Mumbai. The first has rides for all ages, the second is a water park.

Best Day Trip
Alibaug.

Alibaug is a serene, sleepy, confabulation of fishing hamlets with multiple beaches, now assuming the form of a prospering town.

Recommended Tour
The Mumbai Evening Tour.

The majesty of Mumbai becomes apparent once all the night-lights have been lit, an experience not to be missed. This tour begins just before sunset and includes many of the best sights as they come to life at night. Enjoy the illuminated Marine Drive. Looped between the concrete jungle of Nariman Point, Mumbai's Manhattan, and the leafy green slopes of Malabar Hill, Marine Drive was once called the Queen's Necklace, strung with glittering street lights like an enormous strand of imperious jewels.
