"A nouveaux flowerchild in India" Mumbai by jessicadf
Mumbai Travel Guide: 2,229 reviews and 3,829 photos
In 1994, I visited Bombay for a good friend's Sikh wedding. We visited Bombay for a few days, then traveled to New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, and then back to Bombay for the 4 days of wedding. What an amazing trip... I was tired of Indian and Chinese food for six months after the trip, and I was exhausted when I returned home (after nearly 3 weeks), but I'll gladly go back again some day.
- Pros:Ancient culture, warm and welcoming people, sights, sounds, ancient mysteries
- Cons:Poverty, shots required
- In a nutshell:An amazing destination. Either you will love it or hate it. I love it.

and you are the featured member of the day!lovely page on India and glad you loved it.That puppy story and photos are really nice.
Jessica, It is now Rs. 3,500 per night $80 a night but still a fantastic value for the accommodation, facilities and location.
Heading back again anytime soon? I think I might be.....
Hi Jessica , I am Rohan Kumar, a student at the Mumbai University. An avid backpacker, who loves travelling around India. My area of study is Indian Culture. Would be happy to show u around the city.... since i am free for half the day. Rohan Kumar
Great page with lots of useful information! Well done. I wish I had a chance to go to Inida.
Hi Jessica, nice Mumbai tips and pictures! Can't wait to get back there! Best wishes, Ash & Eve
Enjoyed reading about your Indian adventure. Never quite go back to who you were before you went - eh? Birthday greetings from Alaska!
The "Guru" used to have a hut next to a temple inside the forest but the gurus used to use the place to smoke pot and the cops raided the place and shut down the place.
I love the Getaways pic...the colours remind me of the QSM album, Happy Trails..interestin'.~
jess me love! what an amazing time it seems you had in india! so cool that you got to experience it with a friends wedding! great page girl, keep on smiling! luv ya xxx
