"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 and Cons
  • 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.
  • Last visit to Mumbai: Jan 1994

    Jessica, It is now Rs. 3,500 per night $80 a night but still a fantastic value for the accommodation, facilities and location.

    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.
