After breakfast, the day is yours to explore Mumbai on your own. Make sure though to be back to your hostel by 17:00 latest as you'll be met by your English-speaking guide for a fun (and tasty!) evening tour.
Get ready for a wild ride through the tastiest streets of Mumbai! Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you on a local adventure, either by Tuk-Tuk or a similar ride. You're about to embark on the ultimate street food tour, exploring Mumbai's most famous food hotspots. Mumbai is famous for its delicious street food, but finding the best and cleanest places to chow down can be a challenge. No worries, we got you covered! We'll visit the city's top three street food destinations, ensuring that all the vendors are both delicious, hygienic and easy on your stomach!
First stop, Chowpatty Beach, where you'll sample the best of Mumbai's veggie street food while watching the sun dip below the horizon. Get ready to taste classics like Pani Puri, Dahi Puri, and Pav Bhaji. Next, it's time to taxi to Bhuleshwar, where you'll discover the flavors of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Indulge in local specialties like Kesari ukala (saffron milk), kachori/sabudana wada, pudla, and masala dosa, all found in the bustling khao gallis (eating lanes). Finally, we'll hit up the lively Mohommad Ali Road area. This predominantly Muslim neighborhood is full of local culture and even more delicious food! Stroll through the khao gallis and feast on non-vegetarian options like Chicken kebabs, Chicken rolls, and Baida rotis.
And for all your sweet teeth out there, don't worry, we've got you covered too! We'll end the night with some Rabdi with Gulab Jamun, Jalebi, and Kulfi. We'll drop you back off at your hotel and the rest of the evening is yours to do with as you please. Get ready to feast!

Morning is free at leisure to explore the surroundings on your own. Later today, get ready for a wild night of adventure and culture in the city that never sleeps! Mumbai's streets come alive as the sun sets and locals flock to soak up the sultry evening vibe. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel around 18:30.
First stop at Banganga Tank, a serene oasis surrounded by historic Hindu temples. Legend has it that the tank's water has mystical healing powers, sourced from the sacred Ganges River. We'll marvel at the stunning Jain Temple, a breathtaking display of intricate artistry and devotion to peace and non-violence. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, we head to the top of Malabar Hill for a panoramic view of Marine Drive and the Arabian Sea that'll take your breath away. Finally, we'll get a street-level glimpse of Antilia, the extravagant two-billion-dollar home of India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani. Is it a lavish show of wealth or a masterpiece of architecture? You decide.
So, pack your sense of adventure and join us for a night of discovery and fun in Mumbai!
