Mumbai has established itself as a truly international city thanks to the wide range of amenities available here and the high standard of living. The city attracts all kinds of tourists throughout the year and this has led to the establishment of many budget hotels in Mumbai. With monsoon season set to start, here are some of the fun things to do if you are in Mumbai during the rains:
• Watch it rain at Marine Drive: This is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations for all Mumbaikars during the monsoons. Whether you are with your friends, family, partner or even with strangers, watching the raindrops with the Arabian Sea in the background is a special feeling. There are plenty of street food options available nearby so you don’t need to worry about getting hungry.
• Visit the Gateway of India with friends: Although a bit cliched, a visit to the Gateway of India never gets old. This magnificent a piece of architecture looks even better with the rain clouds in the background and a cool breeze tugging at your shirt. The monument is one of the most popular attractions in the megacity and has been often called the Taj Mahal of Mumbai.
• Pakoras and Chai at Tiger Point: A long drive along Lonavala with your significant other can be the best activity on a boring rainy day. The fantastic greenery and natural beauty in Lonavala offer the perfect break from the intense pollution and activity of the city. Be sure to stop at Tiger Point for some hot crispy pakoras and Chai as you take in the breathtaking panoramic views.
• Long walk on Juhu Beach: Immortalised in the film, Slumdog Millionaire, Juhu Beach in Mumbai attracts tourists from all over the country. With plenty of budget hotels in Andheri, finding accommodation is never an issue if you want to stay for a night. Take a long slow walk on the sands of Juhu as you watch the rain clouds gather up above.
• Rooftop lunch at Bayview Café: Situated in Colaba, the Bayview Café becomes a must visit location during monsoon. Offering fantastic views of the city, the food served at the café is good enough to match the location. You can see both the harbour and the Gateway of India from up here and is ideal if you want to dine at a fancy restaurant.
• Enjoy the skyline at Bandra Bandstand: Rain or no rain, the Bandra Bandstand is a popular location for locals and tourists alike. Besides the fantastic skyline of the city, you might just spot the occasional celebrity here.
These were some of the most fun and enjoyable activities you can engage in as it rains down in Mumbai. They will help you turn a monotonous rainy day to a special and memorable one.
