CRUISE
MUMBAI
The most populated city in India , Mumbai is filled with historic buildings , wonderful culture and incredible food . Exploring the city by bike or rickshaw , you can take in sights like the Mumbai Taj ( one of the best-known buildings in the city ), the Royal Opera House ( India ’ s only surviving opera house ) and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . But branching out from the centre of the city , there ’ s an abundance of bazaars , hidden temples and street food vendors . Crawford Market is a great spot for food during both day and night , with stalls selling spices , vegetables and cooked meals .
There are ways to find a bit more breathing room in Mumbai , too , including a visit to Elephanta Island . Steeped in history , the temples here were carved into rocks some 1,500 years ago . Or explore Sanjay Gandhi National Park , a protected area located just outside of Mumbai with thousands of species of plants as well as beautiful scenery including waterfalls and the Kanheri Caves .
The Hanging Gardens of Mumbai is another beautiful green space , located on the slopes of Malabar Hill ( from here , you can see panoramas of Marine Drive and Chowpatty Beach ). Head back towards the water as the sun starts to go down — watching the sun set at the Gateway of India is an unmissable experience . After , opt for rooftop cocktails or head back to Crawford Market for more delicious food .
