Hi

I have been recommended Linking Road as an area to buy good Indian clothes, could anyone tell me if this is correct and tell me a bit about this area, what hotel options are available. Also, I understand that there is a small wholesale only shoppung outlet type of thing close by ..any idea what this might be called ?

Hi can anyone please advise me on decent 3 to 4 star hotels close to Mumbai and Delhi airports between Rs2900 to Rs4000 please. Clean & safe for two ladies.

Arriving in Mumbai on the 17 January 2008 Spending 6 nights in Mumbai and 3 nights in Delhi. If not close to hotel just as long as we can get there safely but close to interesting sites and shopping. Thanks

Hi Mumbai!

A friend and I will be visiting Mumbai from Australia (Melbourne) at the end of this week and are keen to sample the famous night life! We have Indian origins but born/raised in Australia - so unfortantely I still feel like a foreigner! I was in Mumbai for two days in Dec 07 and had an awesome time in Bhandra! Zensi and Seijo were both Fab. Am keen to check out the 5 star venues like Enigma and Insomnia. If anyone has any recommendations that would be most appreciated.

Also, if there's any locals or expats who want to meet up we'd be glad to! Also, we hear there's difficulty getting into clubs as "stags" - is this true? If so, if there's any girls out there who love to party let us know :)

We're both keen on meeting people on this trip to share travel stories and places to visit! We were in Goa for NYE and had an awesome time - can definitely share some tips if anyone is heading to Goa. India rocks :)

I can be contacted via email @ navinanr@gmail.com.

Cheers,

Navinan.

I’m heading to Mumbai, India from Jan. 8 to Feb. 8 and I want to spend that time on a motorcycle riding the countryside.
Does anyone have any suggestions or can point me in the right direction to finding a motorcycle?

I’d like to rent one for 4 weeks or buy one used and sell it at the end of the trip.

The thing about buying is that I don’t want the hassle and the time of trying to sell it – so is there a place to buy one with a buyback plan. So when I get back to Mumbai I can just go back to the place I bought it and they will just buy it back (at a loss to me of course but that’s ok)

Thanks

PS. A Royal Enfield would be the preferred choice – but at this late date I’ll take anything that’s reliable.

Hello all! I am in Mumbai from Jan 30 to Feb 4 (maybe longer) to see/experience/laugh/learn all I can during my time in Mother India (approx 3 weeks). I wouldn't mind meeting up with fun-loving, like-minded fellow sojourners, foreign or local, in order to enrich the experience. Let me know if you are interested or if you have any 'must-see' items to put on my list of to-do's. Thanks a million!!

ps - Mumbai is the beginning of the journey, if anyone is interested in the intinerary pls let me know as I am traveling alone.

Hi! I'll be travelling to Mumbai for a few days on my trip through India. Although I am of Indian origin, I grew up in the States and am American. I will be travelling to different cities, but will be in Mumbai Jan 3- 6th. Anyone care to meet up? I'd love to meet some locals or fellow tourists to explore the sights with! I'll be staying at a nice hotel at Juhu beach.

Recommendations for restaurants, pubs, clubs, shopping, all appreciated!!

Thanks,

There was a Pyrke's hotel in Mumbai many years ago (which was infamous for having a sign reading "no dogs,no Indians"), and I believe there is (or was until quite recently) a well-known restaurant called Pyrkes.

Does anyone in Mumbai know of these places? I am researching the Pyrke family, and I believe these places may have been founded by ancestors of mine.

If anyone knows anything of these plafes, would you be so kind as to contact me: gategarden@hotmail.com.

Many thanks.

Hi We are in Mumbai on the 30th Dec this year for new years eve celebrations. We are staying at the sun n sands in Juhu Tara but they are not holding a pool party or other new years eve celebrations party this year. We have an 8yr old and 12 yr old with us and do not want to leave them on the night.

can anyone suggest a good family freindly party zone. i am guessing one of the big hotels will be the best and have emailed most of them already, awaiting a response.

i am hoping somebody has some up to date info that may help.

Hi guys,
Are there any decent places in the Rs 1500 range around the domestic/intermnational airports in Mumbai? I`m reaching Mumbai with my partner on 8/12/2007 and don`t want to hang around the airport until my connecting flight later on in the day.

Why you dont mention the rates for drinks at varies Night club which can facilitate the user of this site to decide the appropriate hangout.

My husband and I are arriving in Mumbai early February and thought it might be good to acclimatise by spending 4 nights in a hotel near Marve Beach or Madh Beach before setting off on our travels. Can anyone recommend accommodation around there, or somewhere similar - say around 3,000 INR per night?
Thanks

Any information on the Seagreen hotel would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hallo together!
I will travel to India - but at the very very High-Season End of December/Beginning of Januray 2008. And so I will arrive at Mumbai just at Midnight between the years. Almost all Budget-Hotels are sold out in these days. One of the last (good) beds is available... but I need to pay the rate advanced. But I don´t know how to transfer Money from Germany to a Hotel-Adress in india - without Paypal, Western Union, cheque (all not possible...) What do I need for a Money-Transfer to India. Or: Who knows another good Budget-Hotel in Mumbai?

Hopefuly

Gerhard

I'm visiting some cousins in Bombay on Monday. Its been a long long time since I have visited. Most cousins are now older, working all day, married w/kids etc. Evenings will be busy but days I have it pretty much to explore.

I'm quite keen to just venture out around town and see the sights with a backpack and camera. After exploring so much..is there any area that has a pub/restruant type area? I'm thinking similar to places like "The Rocks" in Sydney or Southbank in Melbourne or SOHO in NYC, or Santa Monica in LA..just a whole suburb or plaza of funky places to eat and drink (solo or in a group). So after a few good hours of exploring, can anyone recommend a nice place in the daytime to get a cold beer?

And lastly, I've found out there is a Fitness First in Mumbai and my aussie membership is valid. Anyone know if this gym is any good? FF is the "fast food" of Gym's in Australia, they are everywhere, but they all have good facilities. I've been told the one in Mumabi is downtown, so I'm thinking this is ideal...burn a few calories...have a shower right here in town and then go out and put some calories back in :)

Cheers

Hello, my flight to BOM domestic terminal reaches around 2200 and have to meet someone at the international terminal. So I basically don't have an international flight ticket, but need to get to the international airport. As am travelling alone I dont want to do that trip at night by taxi and was wondering if I can get the airport to airport shuttle? If thats not possible, how safe is it to hire a taxi at night, as I read that there are no prepaid taxis from terminal 1B where I will be arriving.... Hope someone can put my worries to rest ;) Warm regards!!

I shall be spending a few nights in Mumbai in February, as part of a fairly speedy round the would holiday. Am thinking of booking the Gordon House Hotel, and am hoping that someone who has stayed there fairly recently can give me their opinion

Shall be spending three days in Mumbai in February next year and wonder if anyone has had experience with a tour through a movie studio. Have found some sites that state that the sets are closed to the public, but admission can be 'arranged'. Am curious to know the cost of such an 'arrangement', and is it a worthwhile visit.

Hi all-

I am on a 4 month trip in India which began at the start of september. I am working and living in Mumbai for the first 2 months (until the beginning of November) and I am looking to meet up with people who are traveling/living in the area here who want to see the city, discover the culture, eat some delicious food and go out at night!

It is more safe (and more fun) for a woman to do these things with a companion so I'm wondering if anyone is around and can make some time for a new friend!

Email me if you are in the area during my stay and want to chill.
Cheers,
Emma

I see always half a day to 90 days and miles, makes no sense to me. Can I go off and on as I wish ? Anybody out there to explain it to me in very simple words as the websites were not very usefull, thanks, Angie
