DAY 01 : ARRIVE MUMBAI
Namaste! Welcome to India.
With a civilization that is over 5,000 years, richly steeped in history; a land that is diverse and colorful, mysterious and exotic; a land that offers a bewildering mix of adventures; the land of the Himalayas, INDIA has some of the most beautiful luxurious resorts to offer to the world, rich architectural marvels to feast your eyes on, and food fit for an Emperor. A visit to India is a power-package of changing spectacles of religions, customs, festivals, sights and sounds.
On arrival, you are given a traditional Indian welcome and escorted to your hotel in Mumbai
Mumbai, a cluster of seven islands, derives its name from Mumbadevi, the patron goddess of the Koli fisher folk, who are the oldest inhabitants. Mumbai, today, is more than just a metropolis. It is in fact an enigma of mud huts and sky- scrapers, age-old traditions and high fashions, the industrialists’ heaven and moviemaker’s Hollywood.

DAY 02 : MUMBAI
After breakfast, proceed on a tour of Mumbai City
In the morning, visit the Elephanta Caves
Hewn out of solid rock, the Elephanta Caves date back to 600 AD, and attract more visitors each year than the entire city of Mumbai. No wonder: this place resonates with the spiritual energy of India. The cave complex is a collection of shrines, courtyards, inner cells, grand halls and porticos arranged in the splendid symmetry of Indian rock-cut architecture, and filled with exquisite stone sculptures of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. It is situated on Gharapuri Island in Mumbai’s harbor, about an hour’s boat ride from the Gateway Of India. At the entrance to the caves is the famous Trimurti, the celebrated trinity of Elephanta : there’s Lord Brahma the Creator, Lord Vishnu, the preserver and Lord Shiva the Destroyer Unfortunately, many of the sculptures inside have been damaged by iconoclastic Portuguese rulers who took potshots at Hindu Gods with their rifles. And yet somehow, nothing has disturbed the sublime beauty of this place for centuries.
In the afternoon, visit the well known sites of Mumbai City
Drive through Hanging Gardens (now known as Sir K.P. Mehta Gardens), where the old English art of topiary is practiced. Perched at the top of Malabar Hills, on its western side, the terraced gardens provide lovely sunset views over the Arabian Sea. Visit Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, earlier known as Victoria Terminus – modeled on the lines of the St Pancras Station in LONDON, Victoria Terminus is the Raj’s piece de resistance. Continue onwards to the Prince of Wales Museum another building designed by Wittet to commemorating George V’s first visit to India in 1905 before becoming king. There are extensive collections of fascinating 18th and 19th century miniatures. On the same floor are elegantly carved ivory artworks as well as jade and Indian bronze images. The Gateway of India situated on the waterfront in South Mumbai greets all those who come to Mumbai from the harbor; the monument is a testimony to the imperial bygone era of the city.
