Visiting Mumbai

If you get a good deal, you can stay in this area and travel by Local trains to other spots/suburbs (+ you don't have to worry about the crowds as there are 2 stations from where trains originate - CST and Churchgate to take you further north )

Most of the fun spots are in/near Fort anwyays (Gateway, food, clubs, fashion street etc)

edit: Bandra is definitely another area you should visit, for shopping/food/strolling around.

If you happen to go to Bandra do take some time for Linking Road, Lots of road side stuff, cheap but be sure to bargain hard. Other than that there's a pagoda somewhere in Borivli or kandivli I dont remember. People say its good. Try it if you have time on hand.

One thing for sure do travel in local train during peak time and get a first hand exp of Hot sauna cum massage free of cost

.

Perfect, then I would rather stay in this place. They dont have the place available for 1 day out of 3 days so i guess I would need to book someother place for 1 day.

THanks a lot Abhay. Will check out Bandra and Juhu for sure.

Are the trains crowded there throughout the day? I thought it would be more during the office timings.

yes, during peak/rush hours they are more crowded than usual but then this is all relative

Since you would likely travel from Churchgate, you should not have a big problem, it being a starting point.

Did not want to open a new thread. Is there an updated list for "Mumbai Places to visit". The itinerary is around 3 days and 3 nights. The group is less adventurous. Food is high on agenda (veg) compared to other interests. Group is going to be staying around Santa Cruz airport area. Thanks in advance.

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shift...ut-mumbai.html (A Guide: Eating out in Mumbai)

Check out the above thread for food recommendations. Mumbai has a variety of options in veg & non-veg across different cuisines. As for places to visit a search on the forum should give you threads by bhpians who had similar requirements.

E.g. like this thread (Seeking places to explore - Itinerary for Mumbai).
