    Arrival at Mumbai and Transfer to Hotel

    Our representative will meet you at the Mumbai airport and transfer you to the hotel.

    Originally an archipelago of seven islands on the Arabian Sea, Mumbai was named after Mumba Devi, the patron goddess of the Koli fishermen indigenous to the area. In the 19th century, reclamation work joined the islands into a long, narrow strip of land that is the Mumbai we know today. This bustling metropolis is India’s commercial capital and home to Bollywood, the world’s largest movie industry. A city of contrasts, Ferraris and Porsches stand shoulder to shoulder on Mumbai roads with strikingly retro Premier Padmini cabs, and glitzy malls stocking super luxury brands co-exist side by side with buzzing local markets.
