Mumbai (actual name of the former Bombay) is a vibrant & chaotic indian city. Depending on the mood you are while reaching it, it might be delightful or hateful. It's a extreme city, lots of traffic, big avenues, charming and imposing british burocratic buildings, shanty towns...

As a start point to discover south / west India, Mumbai is perfect. It has international airport, good bus/train connections... though hotel prices are incredibly high for indian standards, so don't stay too much in this vibrant but exhaustinf city, go inside India, start the trip!
I visited Mumbai in august, monsoon time. It was OK for me, as it was low season, and rain was never a trouble for travelling. I only had a few drops (for 30-40 minutes) every afternoon, but apart from that the weather was mild, not too hot and humid, but the sun shined some days...

Stunning watercolor of the Gateway, Joaquin!
first class travel in india isn't 'real india' if you ask me.
Good page on Mumbai Joaquin, thanks.
find your comment about the *sea shore hotel* silly! it is a BUDGET place; of course there are staff sleeping there at night - they live at the hotel, travelling back home every few months..this is the situation for millions globally; have respect!
Rs. 6 is about $0.15 - tourist trap? Mumbai is no more dangerous than any other big city anywhere in the world - inlcuding london and new york
Oh dear - sounds like an unfortunate situation!! And the cabin really doesn't look big enough for two :)
Thanks for this tip, read it before I went and therefore didn't use the train. I agree a waste of time and money! Trourist trap!!!
Very useful and interesting tips, above all the transportation ones. Love very much your paintings!
Good pages....I hope to have time to see all there!
yesss ;-) uniquely the daughter of Apollo... and your page brought me back very nice memories :-) as for me Mumbai was delightful!!!
