Mumbai By Dawn Tour

Tour Time: 03 Hrs. (05:30 AM to 08:30 AM).

Mumbai by Dawn is a tour that pays homage to the people of Mumbai and venerates all those who go about their business obstinately with one purpose – a better life.

This mercurial character of the city, when observed in the morning is quite unique. Seeing this lively city wake up, gives you deep cultural insights into the real Mumbai that go beyond the glossy glass facades and urban boardrooms. You experience the underbelly of this magnificent city and understand what makes Mumbai tick.

Fish market - At the start of this tour, you will find yourself at the clamorous and chaotic docks, where amidst understanding the life and times of the Koli fisher-folk (the original inhabitants of Mumbai), you will see the arrival and grading of 25 tons of fish. You will also witness an of its kind fish auction of the famous Bombay Duck.

Newspaper distribution - You will be right in the center of all the action when thousands of illiterate vendors will sort out newspapers in 7 different languages, that too in the middle of the road.

Vegetables, Fruits & Meat market - You will understand the logistics of the food distribution in the city as 100 tons of meat, fruits and vegetables enter the various markets. These markets are not only a great introduction to the people of Mumbai, but also a photographer’s dream comes true.

Milkmen driving past with milk canisters - delivery of freshly baked bread and the melee of color and fragrance at the flower market - all these bazaars add to the frenzy of Mumbai.

Another highlight is the ‘All herbs mandi (market)’ spread across a popular bridge. Possibly the only market of its kind in the world, this green market has a thousand vendors sitting atop a bridge selling various leafy vegetables. What’s interesting is that when you walk the same lanes a few hours later, you wouldn’t find any evidence of the morning’s flurry.

We end this tour with a walk across a cricket ground and learn about the game that has captured the hearts of a billion Indians.

All in all, we assure you, this cavalcade of life in the morning will show you the real spirit of Mumbai.
