Mumbai
Mumbai, formerly Bombay, is the biggest metropolitan town of the country in terms of population. The glitzy and pulsating Mumbai is the trade capital of India, and a real face to the fast growing India. Beaches, food, monuments, rough life, towering buildings and fast-pace mark Mumbai, and set it completely apart from any other Indian cities. The vibrancy in the common life which is seen here is truly unmatchable, and nowhere else it could be observed.
The city’s link with the British is apparent through its buildings constructed in the Indo-Saracen style. Located on the shores of Arabian Sea, Mumbai has the Gateway of India which is serving as the entry point to Mumbai. Flora Fountain, Marble Palace, the Elephanta Caves St. George's Fort, Vasai Fort and Rajabhai Clock Tower, museums, art galleries and libraries attract a vast number of travelers here.
