Mumbai: a city of a million contrasts.

The Base Of Bollywood


If there’s one word that sums up a visit to Mumbai, it’s contrast. Just on your trip from the airport, you’ll see slums next to million-dollar apartment blocks, sports cars queuing behind cows, stray dogs, exotic birds and loads and loads of people. But with nearly 20 million people calling Mumbai’s sprawling metropolis their home, that’s hardly surprising.

It’s a whirlwind that’s not for the faint-hearted. There’s bazaars, temples, fine dining, street food, a-hundred-thousand car horns and one of Asia’s biggest film studios. Your eyes will ache, your senses will tingle, and things will never seem quite the same.
If you think you’re ready for that, then Mumbai is waiting for you.
