What to expect

  1. Town Hall (Asiatic Society Library)
    5m
    Our adventure begins in the heart of Mumbai, outside the legendary Bombay Castle (behind Asiatic Society), where the story of the erstwhile Bombay Fort begins. Step back in time and learn about the city’s humble beginnings and how it has transformed into the vibrant city it is today and the role the precinct had to play in the same.
  2. 10m
    a place filled with fascinating stories from the mid-1800s. We’ll discover how gas lights were first exhibited here and hear amusing anecdotes, including a funny tale about Jinnah, the father of Pakistan. This is the same place where Gandhi’s ashes were kept for the people to come to pay their respects. We'll also share an intriguing secret—the Asiatic Society houses a hidden treasure, a 14th-century copy of Dante's Divine Comedy. Although not accessible to the public, this precious artefact was so valuable that Mussolini once offered a staggering one million pounds for it. We simply couldn't part with such a priceless piece of history.
  3. Horniman Circle Garden
    20m
    We walk through the Horniman circle precinct and move toward the St. Thomas Cathedral
  4. 30m
    Enjoy a quick bite at this iconic Parsi bakery.
  5. Flora Fountain
    15m
    Visit the fountain that marks the expansion of Bombay beyond the Fort limits and listen to the tale of the division of the state of Maharashtra while looking at the Hutatma Smarak.
  6. Bombay Stock Exchange
    10m
    The beating heart of Mumbai's economy. You'll discover how this monumental institution started under a humble banyan tree and grew into the impressive structure it is today.
  7. Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue
    5m
    A testament to Mumbai's vibrant Jewish heritage. Delve into the captivating history of the Sassoon family and their lasting impact on the city.
  8. Kala Ghoda Art Precinct
    25m
    This is the art area of Mumbai. Here, amidst stories of Sassoon and Jewish history, you will hear stories about the Watson Hotel – the first iron cast building in the city that hosted Mark Twain.
  9. Lion Gate
    15m
    Our journey concludes at the old docks of Mumbai, where extraordinary stories await. Uncover the mystery of the enigmatic Ice King, explore the city's connection to the American Civil War, and brace yourself for the incredible tale of the day it rained gold in Mumbai.
