Hi all,
I'm coming to Mumbai for 3 weeks from May 2nd and I'm looking for an accommodation in South Mumbai.
Do you know a nice dormitory, guest house, etc. and with young people? I'll be volunteering for a local organization near Charney Rd. Is this a nice area to live in? Otherwise, which could be a nice area to live in, reachable by public transportation from Charney Rd.?
Thanks a lot!!!!

Hello.
The nicest area to stay in is Colaba (South Mumbai)
For cheapest accommodation, try the YWCA.

Are you aware that it is summer now and VERY hoy in Mumbai? The Monsoon is also possible (if unpredictable)- it usually starts proper in June.
thanks! I know, but i only have holidays in this period...
Ok as long as you are prepared for the heat.
Drink LOTS of bottled water to prevent dehydration, and wear sunscreen.
I have a page with information on Mumbai if you would like more info. The link is on my homepage.
Have a great time-Mumbai is an interesting city.
www.ymcabombay.com/. You need to really rush with the booking if you want to get it . This is a very nice friendly, secure place to stay. In case you do not get it at Colaba try Bombay Central and actually it is nearer to Charni Road than even Colaba. (Not that Colaba is too far) You can travel by the city bus known as BEST.
In case you want to make friends in the city attend the VT meet at Mumbai on the 2nd May,check the events page or the Mumbai Forum page.
Do have a nice trip.
Go to www.youthhostelindia.com you will find cheap and best place to stay anywhere in India. They have places in south Mumbai as well.
Thanks

Hope all is well with your stay in Mumbai...

Bit late-- only just seen your posting. Would be of interest to know where you decided to stay.
I would have suggested the Red Shield Salvation Army Hostel. In my backpacking days of the early 70's I stayed in dormitory accomodation there! I doubt the YWCA would be regarded now as the cheapest by a long stretch. They now charge 3000/- for a double room. Also not possible to book in advance from abroad unless a bankers draft is used which is costly to do.
Hope you are having a good time in Mumbai.
It’s good rule to ask at least twice for an informations.
Money – Mumbai is the worst place to change money
But like other places in india, with discretion, you can bargain for a better rate.
Try Baroda bank Colaba Causeway a small exchange office rise up the stairs right side
The Kala Ghoda area is recognisable by the huge round-about with crazy traffic. This area between Colaba and the Fort contains Mumbai's main galleries and museums along with some gorgeous colonial buildings. Be careful when your museum hopping - don't get run over by a car.
I know it's hot and humid but can't they be a bit more subtle about it? LOL! Indian men just can't keep their hands off their willies! You can be asking for directions and the bloke goes touching his privates while talking to you...Very cheeky!
The Virtual Calling Card from MTNL is available in different denominations of Rs50, Rs100, Rs250, Rs 500, Rs1000 & Rs2000.
I'd suggest you buy a Virtual Calling Card (nothing to do with Virtual Tourist but just MTNL!!!) and it is available everywhere in different denominations depending on your need and can be used from any phone without having to pay for it from that number!!! And it can be used from any MTNL (the local telephone company) line. Minimum price is Rs.50/- and you can even make STD (Domestic Subscriber Trunk Dialling) and ISD (International) calls from a non STD or ISD phone too!!! And it's cheaper too.
Trekking on the plateau West of Mumbai.
While travelling in train, I had long conversations with other passengers sitting between the train cars enjoying the view. There is a lot of little villages around with very few roads to commute between them. Hiking/trekking is very popular in that region.
