Brief About Mumbai
District
Mumbai is a cluster of Seven Islands and derives its name from
Mumbadevi, the patron goddess of the koli fisher folk, its oldest
inhabitants. Mumbai pulsates with activity. It is a city that is
disciplined by no time frame neither day nor night. Mumbai is also
the country's financial powerhouse, the nation's industrial heartland,
and its economic nerve center. Dazzling shopping arcades, exciting
sport activity, night clubs & discotheques, theatre & music, gourmet
restaurants and interesting sightseeing. Mumbai offers visitors
a heady mix of all this and more. The harbour and widebay between
the city and its main land has allowed Mumbai to be a natural shipping
and trading centre.
Mumbai is divided into straight lines in terms
of places starting from South Mumbai to North Mumbai, etc.. Also
Mumbai Suburbs are known as East or West as per their location
on either side of the railway tracks. We are taking Colaba as
the point of commencing the guided tour and will follow the path
accordingly.
