THE MAGIC OF MUMBAI

Mondegar has a great selection of food and cocktails for the discerning traveler. Dugar also recommends Trishna, which has become well-known for its delicious seafood. A newer location called Bastian also has great seafood and a wide variety of vegetarian options.

Beautiful and exciting adventures are not hard to find in Mumbai. Dugar describes Mumbai as “a bustling city with buzzing nightlife.” This is exemplified in Bandra and Lower Parel. “There are two main beaches,” continues Dugar, “Girgaon Chowpatty Beach and Juhu Beach,” both of which contain breathtaking seaside views. Dugar also recommends seeing the Gateway of India, a giant stone archway from the early 20th century, which stands at an impressive 85 feet.

Dugar shares that amidst all the excitement, “Mumbai is densely populated, and there aren’t too many quiet places.” Despite this, Dugar says that Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Aarey Colony offer some serene areas of “greenery and natural wildlife.” Even in a densely populated area such as Mumbai, one can still find ways to get away from it all.
