Mumbai Hotels NZ$144

The energy in Mumbai, India, is flurried to say the least. In fact, some might argue that it’s borderline chaotic. But once you set down your bags and get comfortable, you’re in for the experience of a lifetime. To be sure, Mumbai is hardly the place for travellers seeking a bit of R&R. It is, rather, for the adventurous at heart. It’s the perfect place for explorers always on the hunt for a zany restaurant, crowded marketplace, and thriving national landmarks, where elbows are sure to be rubbed. So head to the Gateway of India arch for a photo op, bring your cash to Colaba Causeway, and ferry your way to Elephanta Island to investigate the cave temples.

Where to Stay in Mumbai

Hotels in Mumbai vary from the luxurious to the budget-friendly, so you’ll always find somewhere to shack up within your price point. Lots of hotels in Mumbai are in high-rise buildings, though you will also find smaller accommodation throughout the capital of Maharashtra. Looking for a cosmopolitan experience? Book a stay in Nariman Point, which is considered the Manhattan of Mumbai.

Mumbai Travel Basics

Mumbai is humid throughout much of the year, but less so from November to February. Visiting during this time of year also means you will miss the monsoon season, which falls between June and September. Once you’ve arrived, expect traffic to be a bear. Metered taxis are your best bet for transportation, but nearly every hour is rush hour nonetheless. Thankfully, many Mumbai hotels are situated right in the thick of things, so you may be able to travel on foot to some attractions and restaurants.
