DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Depart the pier passing through some of the most significant sights of Mumbai, including the city's most famous landmark, the Gateway of India. Built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, the archway was originally conceived as an entry point for passengers arriving on steamers from England. Today, it is remembered more often as the place from which the British staged their final departure. Travel along Marine Drive, Mumbai's gracious seaside boulevard and promenade that sweeps from the skyscrapers at Nariman Point to the foot of Malabar Hill. At the northern end is lively Chowpatty Beach. Proceeding to Malabar Hill, view Mumbai's ritziest neighborhood. Its forested slopes, sea breeze and panoramic views have made the area popular since the 18th century, when merchants and colonial governors built mansions and bungalows on the hillsides. Since then, luxury high-rises, home to politicians and film stars, have dominated the scene. Also perched on Malabar Hill is Jain Temple. Built of marble and featuring a central chamber covered with mirrors and colorful paintings, the temple is dedicated to Adinath, the first of the 24 Jain prophets.Your sightseeing drive next affords a look at India's remarkable railway station, Victoria Terminus. Inspired by London's St. Pancras Station, Victoria Terminus was built during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year. It is a showpiece of domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets. Half a million people daily commute from this station to get from Point A to Point B. Before returning to the pier, stop at a Mumbai hotel for refreshments.
