MUMBAI pre tour EXTENSION
4 Days /3 Nights

Mumbai formerly Bombay, is the gateway to India and it is big. A thriving metropolis of colour and sounds, full of dreamers, labourers, starlets, artists, fisherfolk and lots of people, an estimated 14 million. Home to the ‘Bollywood’ film industry, named for ‘Bombay’ and ‘Hollywood’. The genre mixes action, comedy, romance, drama and melodrama along with musical numbers. Some of Asia’s biggest slums can be found here; as well as the world’s most expensive homes to ‘crorepatis’ (or millionaires), along with the largest tropical forest in an urban zone. Formerly, the base for the British East India Company, a colonial and trade influence remains. Mumbai is India’s financial powerhouse, fashion epicentre and a pulse point of different religions. This city truly is pulsating with life and full of vibrancy. The heart of the city contains some of the grandest colonial-era architecture on the planet, but explore a little more and you’ll uncover unique bazaars, hidden temples, hipster enclaves and India’s premier restaurants and nightlife.

Prepare for your trip

 India is everything, and more, all at once.

It's a sensory potpourri; a visual explosion of bright saris, lumbering cows, marigolds, incense, spices and bursts of sunlight - where you're guaranteed to craft your very own Darjeeling Limited experience.

As for the language, Hindi isn't spoken by everyone in India - in fact there are more than 20 languages spoken throughout the country and English tends to serve as a common one.

A few Hindi phrases will definitely help along the way: "Namaskar" (hello), "shukriya" (thank you), "aap kaise hai" (how are you), "kitna hai" (how much) and "naam kya hai" (what's your name), may come in handy on your trip.

As for money, you'll be dealing in Indian rupees - there are about 55 rupees to each Aussie dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted, but make sure you know all your pin codes as signing has been phased out around the country.
