Hello, Lovely Readers!
I am back from my trip to Mumbai where I had a great time. Due to time constraint, I had to explore 3-4 places in a single day. As familiarized by my travel agency LorelsHolidays, I knew that I will get to see 2-3 places in Colaba which lies in Mumbai’s southernmost peninsula.
Colaba is a vibrant area of the city, filled with bustling shops, street stalls, art galleries, restaurants, and historic monuments. During the 16th century, this area was known as Candil by the Portuguese rulers. Later, when the British arrived, they started calling it as Colio. Colaba boasts of an excellent view and famous attractions, be it the eternal Arabian Sea or notable monuments. The Gateway Of India, Regal Theatre, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel are some of the iconic landmarks of this area.
Due to the shortage of time, I could only visit the Taj Hotel, Gateway Of India, Marine Drive, Nariman Point, Chowpatty Beach (few of the places which fell on my way from Bandra). Colaba and its monuments are a must-see for anyone visiting Bombay. It’s a high-end tourist area, and you will find many foreigners here as well. If you have time, roam around the streets of Colaba for some great stuff. Everything here is cheerful, despite the crowd and the buzz. Colaba is definitely the pulse of Mumbai.

Marine Drive is a 3.6-kilometre-long boulevard. The Marine Drive is also known as the Queen’s necklace on account of its shape and yellow streetlights. It makes for a spectacular view when lit up at night. At the northern end of Marine Drive is Chowpatty Beach, a famous beach known for its tasty Bhelpuri.

Welcome
Aha! The time I was still India was walking everyday from my hostel in Churchgate to Colaba. There is Olympus that serves yummy multi colored cake and my favorite hang outs were Sports Express Bar, Cafe Monde and to a lesser degree Leopold. As you walk towards the Hanuman Mandir, turn to the left and there is this amazing barista. I enjoyed sitting there. Colaba is one such favorite place and of course Marine Drive opposite to where I stayed. You glowing.
Feels so good to hear about the city you have just been from a person who lived a part of his life there. Wish, could have asked you for a few tips before. May be next time.
Haan most welcome. I have done a couple of posts on Maximum City 🙂
