MUMBAI, The financial capital of INDIA is one of the loveliest cities to stay in. Apart from the wonderful beaches it can boasts about, it also provides with the innumerable places one can spend time at, be it water parks like the one at Water kingdom in Esselworld or Surya Water Park or regular amusement park at Essel world or Fantasy land. Then there are malls which give indoor entertainment & multi-screen theatres which along with the normal ones cater to the different needs of mumbaites. Apart from all these there are lovely gardens like Kamla Nehru Park at walkeshwar, Joggers Park at bandra & vile parle & Bhakiti Park at chunnabhati which are the best way to kick of exhaustion. The sea faces like the ones at worli bandstand & bandra bandstand are truly the lover’s paradise as they create a perfect romantic evening one would dream of, whether it’s a layman or a rich person. A beautiful evening spent on the lovely Marine drive is so enchanting where one can have the experience of seeing the sun coolly sliding in the arms of sea. And as the night falls the entire driveway comes to life as the street lights get illuminated. No wonder it is called The Queens Necklace, as it would appear if seen from the sky.

Mumbai also satisfies the thirst of adventure by providing an opportunity of water sports at chowpatty beach. Though shut down for a while hope it will be back in action very soon. Then there is the option of river rafting at karjat other than the normal trekking activities carried on. Shopping an addiction which no one can stay away from immaterial of the age is given big importance. Whether it’s branded outfit or casual wear they allure shoppers irrespective their bank balances. No wonder like the big shopping malls even the casual places like Fashion Street at churchgate, linking road at bandra & Lokhandwala at andheri are considered to be the right place to hunt for, which in true sense are shopper’s paradise. Speaking of Mumbai- the first thought that comes to mind is of food. As this is the place where all types of cuisines with their authentic & Indian converted tastes are available. the taste in either case so mouth watering that there is a minimum of half an hour waiting to get a table at any restaurant on Sundays. Though one does have the option of eating at hawkers whose tastes at times can challenge the best of restaurants. Of course one should have the heart of ignoring the unhygienic surroundings & mumbaities do have a huge heart when it comes to eating. Probably this is the reason of hotel business flourishing in Mumbai.
