A Green Mumbai Tour
The uninitiated visitor who has a stereotypical image of the city as a concrete jungle will be
stunned by the beauty of the numerous enchanting parks and gardens in Mumbai. Some
of the most well known and popular ones include Hanging Gardens, Kamala Nehru Park,
and Horniman Circle Gardens. The Hanging Gardens are terraced gardens sprawling atop
Malabar Hills and offers indescribably exhilarating sunset views as well as the Arabian Sea
and Marine Drive. The tranquil Kamala Nehru Park is located opposite the Hanging
Gardens and is especially popular amongst families with kids. The Horniman Circle
Gardens or the erstwhile Bombay Greens in South Mumbai date back to the 18th Century.

Cafe Hopping in Mumbai
When one thinks about the popular cafes in Mumbai, some of the inescapable names that
immediately crop up include Leopold Cafe, Leaping Windows, and Theobroma. The
popularity of Leopold continues unabated even after a period of almost 150 years and with
its addictively snacks, coffee, and beer, the place also keeps winning over new patrons.
Probably the best of rum brownies in the city is to be found at Theobroma. The Leaping
Windows is a bookworm’s paradise, where you get to quietly curl up over coffee with a
comic or graphic novel from the cafe’s huge library. Overall, cafe hopping may not be a top
highlight of Mumbai tourism, but is definitely worth the experience for someone who has not
