Gateway Of India Mumbai
Shri Siddhi Vinayak Ganapati Mandir
To save time, I suggest checking if there are any special poojas happening before your visit. You might get to experience something unique if you plan it right!
I think it’s a good idea to wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be on your feet a lot and the floors can get a bit slippery with all the foot traffic.
I recommend bringing some cash for offerings. They don’t take cards for the little things like flowers or sweets, and you'll want to show your devotion with something!
Queen's Necklace - Marine Drive
Mahalakshmi Temple
If you're planning to donate or buy prasad, bring some small notes. I had to hunt for change and it wasted a bit of my time right when I wanted to enjoy.
Try to avoid weekends if you can. I went on a Sunday and it was super packed. Save yourself some headache and go on a weekday.
Check out the side temples first before you hit the main one. I found them quieter and less crowded, plus you get to enjoy some peaceful moments.
International Society for Krishna Consciousness
Fort Bandra
Be prepared for crowds on weekends! I visited on a Saturday and it was packed. If you can, try to come on a weekday for a peaceful experience.
my advice is to grab a local guide from the entrance. it’s usually not too expensive, and i found it super helpful to learn about the hidden stories behind the architecture that i would’ve missed otherwise.
If you're into photography, go in the late afternoon around 4 PM. The golden hour gives the place a magical vibe, and you’ll capture some stunning shots
I suggest bringing your own water and snacks. There’s not much around, and you don’t want to waste time searching for food or drinks while exploring!
Flora Fountain
Bring some cash for street food nearby! I discovered an amazing chaat vendor just a short walk away. It's way cheaper than restaurants!
I suggest visiting Flora Fountain in the early morning around 7 AM. The light is perfect for photos, and you’ll avoid the crowds!
Watch out for traffic - local taxis are convenient, but I think walking is the best option if you want to enjoy the city vibe
Babulnath Temple
Keep an eye on your belongings! Some spots can get crowded and you might not realize if you're being bumped into. I had a close call myself!
I suggest taking your time to appreciate the intricate architecture. Don't rush! I missed some cool details rushing through to meet my friends.
Mumba Devi Temple
Try to visit early in the morning, around 7 AM, when it's less crowded and the atmosphere feels more peaceful. You'll have a better chance to soak in the beauty of the temple without being rushed.
Snap your photos outside the temple rather than inside. Photography is not allowed inside to maintain the sanctity, and the architecture looks stunning from the outside anyway!
Basilica of Our Lady of the Mountain
Try to visit early in the morning, like around 7 AM, when the crowd is minimal and the sunlight makes the architecture pop in photos. You’ll get some peaceful moments to soak it all in.
If you're on a budget, consider eating at the small stalls nearby for authentic local snacks instead of the fancier spots. I found some amazing vada pav that really hit the spot!
Take some time to explore the surrounding areas, especially the gardens and little shops. I stumbled upon some unique handmade souvenirs that made for great gifts.
Wear comfortable footwear! The grounds have a mix of old flooring and some uneven paths. It's easy to get distracted by the beauty and forget to watch your step.
