Hi friends ,

If somebody can help me telling the Idea about the place where we can see some Bollywood stars will be great for me .
We will spend three or four days in Mumbai. So we can visit other places as well .

Good day dear .

MTDC has a Bollywood Tour package. Pl. check with at India Tourism Office opp. Churchgate Station. Also for site seeing group tours you may consider Carnival Travel etc.

Hi Naval ,
Thanks for the information, can you advise some places just to know local Mumbai ?
It will be a fun to see authentic Mumbai streets too.

Have good day !

Hi Anit,

Did not understood your query. What are you looking for ? If you meant street food you should visit Juhu Beach for various dishes but is in North Mumbai near Vile Parle / Andheri. In South Mumbai you will find street food stalls opp. Capitol Cinema.and behind Income Tax office.  .

Thanks Naval,
It will definitely helpful for me to make my son have some new Mumbai snacks.

Have a nice day !

Take a trip to Colaba while you are in Mumbai. The Gateway to India is there. A wonderful area close to the sea. Royal tangas, amazing buildings, some excellent hotels. Boat rides too. We had an excellent meal at the Pizza Place on the Bay. Great food and great view. There are lots of vendors there. Good shopping experience aimed at tourists.Photographers to take photos by the Gateway. Taj Hotel. And in our opinion some of the best restaurants in all of Mumbai. Enjoy!

.

you will have to search the net and make a lot of calls ...

dear blogger
searching the net is suggested so that you can get to know about things which are on the web. Once you have the sequence as given by me you can do the search in about 2 hours time.Alternatively would suggest using a local friend who would be somewhat knowledgeable. A tour guide is another solution but not all foreign tourist may afford one.
By the way,what calls or to whom( do you think) would need to be made?
Best wishes,
