Walk around and look at all...
by rynning
Walk around and look at all the interesting people. I miss the athmosphere of India. All the new things I saw everyday. No day looks the same. I also miss Josephine's great breakfast. We had fresh fruit and juice everyday. Oranges, melons, papayas and more. Unfortunatly we weren't there at the Mango season. The mangos are supposed to be great and so sweat. On the picture is a mangotree.
Mumbai's skyline
by SirRichard
The most distinctive skyline of Mumbai is the one you can see when you take the boat to Elephanta Island. As you go out from Gateway of India, you can see the silhouette of the Gate and the Taj Mahal Hotel, both the old building and the new one (that ugly big tower at the left).
Christian Bombay
by MM212
Although Christians only make up less than 4% of Bombay's population today, the city is abundant with beautiful churches. This is largely thanks to the British who built many (Protestant) churches in Bombay to serve their community. In addition, the Portuguese added numerous Catholic churches in the suburb of Bandra, which remained a Portuguese colony until the 18th century. These churches continue to be used today, serving the local population as well as religious expats. Attached are photos of several churches in Bombay. In addition, the "Things To Do" tab contains tips on specific prominent churches.
Kamshet - a village
by mbatsheba
This is a little village on the outskirts of Mumbai close to the hill station Lonavla. A typical Indian village...my pictures describe what I am saying.
It is also a paragliders stop as there is an agent there who provides accomodation, food, transport etc. to the site
Beautiful walks through this scenic village with a great lake.
Private houses by the lake are normally rented out as there are no hotels available.
