Gateway of India

Mumbai · Timeless Icon

Indo-Saracenic stone rises above the ferry quay to Elephanta and the harbour. Dawn here is quiet; evenings bring street photographers, tuk-tuks, and the Taj Mahal Palace hotel glowing across the plaza.

Combine with Colaba art galleries, Kala Ghoda cafés, and a sunset ferry when seas are calm.
