Mumbai- The City of DREAMS! Why Tour INDIA X !

Mumbai

Mumbai, financial center and India's largest city is one of the densely populated city on India’s west coast. The iconic Gateway of India stone arch, built by the British Rule in 1924 stands on its Harbour!

The city is also famous for its Bollywood film industry which releases more than approx. 1,000 films per year. That is more than double the number of films released by its American counterpart, Hollywood.

Offshore, nearby Elephanta Island holds ancient cave temples dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.

Mumbai is in all ways a mega-city driven by power, wealth, glamour and fame which attracts people to give shape to their dreams and aspirations.

It is said that people flock in to this city with dreams in their eyes every year, some make it some don't but still it's a city full of opportunities and nobody could deny that ever!

Like Bangalore, Mumbai is also a city that never sleeps!

It is a city with strong historical links, unbeatable British architecture, museums, beaches, places of worship, finance hub and above all, a place where people come to make it to the glam world, the Bollywood!
