Gateway of India holidays

Marvel at the grandeur of the Gateway of India, Mumbai’s most iconic monument. Standing proudly on the waterfront, overlooking the Arabian Sea, the Gateway is a stunning blend of Hindu and Muslim architecture and was built in the early 20th century to commemorate the arrival of King-Emperor George V, the first British monarch to visit India. As one of the country’s most famous landmarks, its towering arches and intricate carvings (testament to the incredible craftsmanship of the era), are a popular attraction for visitors from far and wide. The best way to see the site is on a private tour with an expert local guide, by boat, or, if you prefer to go at your own pace, by wandering alone after grabbing some locally-made chaat (savoury street food snacks). From street performers and vendors, to couples taking romantic walks, the area around the monument is always buzzing with energy. Experience the majesty of the Gateway of India and be transported back to a time of colonial grandeur and timeless elegance. Read more
