We recommend 3-4 days to explore Mumbai's highlights. However, if you want to delve deeper into specific aspects like Bollywood or explore nearby destinations like Elephanta Caves or Sanjay Gandhi National Park, consider a longer itinerary. We can create customized packages to suit your timeframe.
Mumbai is generally safe for tourists. However, as in any large city, staying vigilant in crowded areas and exercising common sense is advisable. We recommend using registered taxis or ride-sharing services for transportation, especially at night. Our guides can also provide valuable insights and ensure a safe and secure experience.
The ideal time depends on your preferences. October to February offers pleasant weather, perfect for sightseeing. March to May can be slightly warmer but with fewer crowds. The monsoon season (June-September) brings lush greenery but with occasional showers that might impact outdoor activities.
