It's associated with Bollywood, beaches, bars and beautiful people and it's arguably the most happening and ‘Western' city in India, but is Mumbai really the NYC of the East?
It might be a city that never sleeps, with more than enough bars, restaurants and night-time haunts to satisfy any thrill-seeking traveller, but it is also extremely traditional and uniquely Indian.
Where else would you sit in a taxi in traffic that eclipses New York's, alongside rickshaws, donkeys, London buses and children begging?
Where else could you stand knee-deep in the Indian ocean, before filtering through the vast array of award-winning entertainment options, all stemming from the city - from world-renowned film to theatre and a million different dance and music shows.
With its millions of sights, smells and sounds, Mumbai is not a city that can be contained or compared to anywhere else in the world - See it to believe it!
