One Day in Mumbai on a Shoestring Budget - June 2023

  1. 9:00AM: Gateway of India
    10 minutes (1.3 km) from Colaba Causeway

    Visit one of Mumbai's most famous landmarks, the Gateway of India. Built in 1924, it is a fusion of Hindu and Muslim architectural styles and stands as a symbol of Mumbai's rich history as a trading port.

  2. 10:00AM: Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST)
    20 minutes (3.3 km) from Gateway of India

    Explore the stunning architecture of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of Mumbai's busiest railway stations, and the Victorian Gothic style building features intricate carvings and stained glass windows.

  3. 12:00PM: Crawford Market
    15 minutes (2.1 km) from CST

    Browse the bustling stalls of Crawford Market, a popular shopping destination for locals. You can find everything from fresh produce to souvenirs. Make sure to bargain for the best prices!

  4. 1:30PM: Haji Ali Dargah
    30 minutes (7.5 km) from Crawford Market

    Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city at Haji Ali Dargah, a beautiful mosque located on a small island off the coast of Mumbai. The stunning white marble structure is accessible via a narrow causeway that is only visible during low tide.

  5. 3:30PM: Juhu Beach
    45 minutes (11.2 km) from Haji Ali Dargah

    End the day at Juhu Beach, a popular spot for locals to relax and enjoy the sunset. You can take a walk on the beach, try some street food, or simply relax and people-watch.

Recommendations

If you have time, consider visiting Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on an island off the coast of Mumbai. You can take a ferry from the Gateway of India to get there. For a day trip, head to Matheran, a charming hill station located a few hours from Mumbai. To maximize your fun, try taking the local train or bus instead of hiring a taxi, as it is much cheaper and a great way to experience the local culture.
