    Malabar Hill from Chowpatty
    Beach
    by SirRichard
    This residential high class area is located in the southwest part of Mumbai, at the west of the Chowpatty Beach.

    Here you can find some colonial bungalows that were built at the hillside by the British and some modern apartment blocks of Mumbai's high society.

    Main attractions here are the Hanging Gardens, Kamala Nehru Park, from where you have nice views of the city, and the Parsi Towers of Silence, where Parsis leave their dead bodies to be picked clean by vultures (but don't go there to see this, please, is closed to visitors!).

    MARINE DRIVE WALK: QUEENS NECKLACE - MARINE DRIVE

    Marine Drive follows the sweeping curve of sea that stretches north from Nariman Point's to Chowpatty Beach, located at the foot of Malabar Hill. Mumbaikars come here to stroll along the promenade- it is a great place to escape the frenetic chaos of central Mumbai. In the evenings snack stalls sell take-away food. At sunset, as the sun sets, the lights come on- and they form what is called "Queens Necklace" around Back Bay. Watching the sun set over Nariman Point is a highlight.

    The "Queen's Necklace" is the main attraction for many tourists. This is because the road glitters with street lights and resembles a glowing pearl string.
    Marine Drive starts from Malabar Hill and ends at the elite business centre of Nariman point.

    Marine Drive also known as queen's Necklace because of its line of street lamps ligthing up at night.
    It's a pleasant promenade between the seafront and one of Mumbai's busiest roads.
    If you walk it after the sun set, you could come over the celebration of a marriage, of which you can catch the sounds and see the guests entering, what a pity that everything is going on "beyond" that door...
    And somewhere in the middle of the Marine Drive Chowpatty Beach, a lively and worth visiting part of the long seashore.

  • MARINE DRIVE WALK - Mumbai
    by tranceperent
    one of the most popular beaches in mumbai, popular by the locals. guess most foriegn tourist wouldnt like coming her for the crowd.
    but the best part of it is the food stalls around the beach, which serve amazing bhel-puri and pav bhaji.

    also one should do is to walk on the opposite side of the road in some of the by-lanes to see some good architecture.
    try visiting this place in the eveing to see the beauty of queens necklace (marine drive)

    Marine Drive or the Queens Necklace as it is commonly known especially at night because the curve of lights looks much like a string of pearls, arcs around the seafront from Mariman Point to Malabar Hill.

    Yes, thats right, Mumbai is beach front. And for being the hugh congested city that it is, I'm sue that this is a Godsend...

    While the water looked a bit mucky for swimming, (for my tastes, anyway...) I'm sure that catching the evening ocean breeze down here is a welcome respite from the big city...

    Marine Drive one of the most beautiful sites of Mumbai. It is a pleasure to site the Queens necklace- the night view of the lamp lit road described by many as the Queens Necklace.

    Marine Drive was just a short distance from my hotel and I decided to take a walk down there early one morning. Traffic bustled along the drive and the odd jogger passed me by taking in the day before the heat built up. Most people who were out and not on their way to work, were just happily strolling, getting a little morning exercise.
