Private jet charter and flights to Mumbai
India’s largest and most westernised city is a place of extremes. Growing from humble beginnings as a 16th-century aboriginal settlement, today the coastal megalopolis is known for its crowds, heat and humidity – but scratch the surface and you’ll find a dynamic cultural hub where teeming bazaars and colonial-era monuments give way to a verdant national park.

One of Mumbai’s must-see sights is the magnificent Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in the central business district – a UNESCO-listed gothic railway station that was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee. Thronging with passengers and sightseers, the iconic landmark is best visited at nighttime, when brightly-coloured LED lights illuminate its domes and buttresses. Another unmissable spectacle is Dhobi Ghat, an extraordinary open-air laundromat where hundreds of workers wash and iron the city’s dirty linen.
Those interested in uncovering the city’s storied past can discover rich cultural artefacts in famous museums such as the white-domed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya and meticulously restored Dr. Bau Daji Lad. For a truly unique experience, hop in a rickshaw to join the thousands of pilgrims visiting the sacred Haji Ali Dargah, an ethereal Indo-Islamic mosque that seems to float like a mirage in the middle of the sea.
Stroll around the city’s hip art district, Kala Ghoda, which is packed with heritage museums, indie galleries and street stalls showcasing local art. Then continue south to tourist hub Colaba, where art-deco buildings house upmarket hotels and restaurants. Here you can admire the imposing Gateway of India before taking a boat to Elephanta Island, where ancient temples are carved out of the hillside. Back on the mainland, enjoy a taste of authentic local cuisine from upscale restaurants and street-food stalls.
Search for more ancient monuments in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, an area of astonishing natural beauty nestled at the city’s northern edge. In stark contrast to the frenetic streets of central Mumbai, this vast jungle oasis shelters leopards, reptiles, deer and monkeys, along with fascinating Buddhist caves filled with prayer halls, statues and carvings that were sculpted by monks 2,000 years ago.
