Mumbai

Mumbai also known as Bombay, located off the west coast is the commercial and entertainment capital of India  What started as seven small islands inhabited by simple fishermen has grown to become the economic powerhouse of India with a history of Portuguese and British influence.

It is the bubble-gum glamour of Bollywood cinema, shopping malls full of designer labels, cricket on the Oval Maiden, promenading families eating bhelpuri on the beach at Chowpatty and red double-decker buses queuing in grinding traffic jams. This pungent drama is played out against a Victorian townscape more reminiscent of a prosperous 19th-century English industrial city than anything you'd expect to find on the edge of the Arabian Sea. It's a city with vibrant street life, India's best nightlife, and a wealth of bazaars.

    Kathmandu provides an adrenalin to the senses. Whizzing rickshaws, tucked away temples decorated in colourful flowers and some great choices for accommodation, it will delight any true traveller. 

    There are many great markets to pick great souvenirs, check out some of the beautiful architecture including the octagonal Krishna Temple.

  • Amit Dhoj Khadka

    The driving to Jaisalmer from Jodhpur through the stunning Thar desert and its sand dunes dotted with tribal villages will always be special for me. As one approaches closer seeing the Golden fortress simmer in the distance is always special.

    It is such a frontier town with the beautiful colours everywhere from the fluorescent greens, and reds of the woman’s dresses contrasting with the terrain to the intricately carved Havelis and the numerous shops selling beautiful carpets and silver trinkets and the camels ambling by. I  absolutely loved walking inside the old town and watching the life go by and Jaisalmer  will always be one of my favourite places anywhere.

  • Nikhil Chhibber

    I have travelled extensively throughout India, both through business and pleasure and it was there I had my first personal encounter with an endangered species, a Royal Bengal tiger in Central India.

    Since then  I have had the pleasure of witnessing India's rich diversity of wildlife, including the Nilgiri leaf monkey, the Asiatic lion, the Indian white-rumped vulture and of course, the majestic Indian elephants.

  • Nikhil Chhibber

    Mumbai is truly a mish mash of all things diabolical. Pieces of old colonial architecture can be found around the city, wealthy residences alongside astonishing poor slums, a labyrinth of bazaars, restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping outlets and an equal number of cave-temples.

    One of my highlights, was Elephanta Island, home to the three faced Hindu goddess Shiva.

    Overall, disappointed that our trip wasn’t long enough, but knew it was a great start to many.
