Overview

Discover Mumbai’s spiritual and local side on our Mumbai Market and Temples Tour beyond the usual sights.
From lively bazaars to serene temples, experience the city’s everyday rhythm.
Led by a responsible travel company, this tour directly supports local development initiatives.

Mumbai’s wide streets and narrow lanes are alive with activity. In front of colonial buildings, alongside temples, and everywhere in between, vendors shout from carts selling everything from colourful birds and flowers to traditional Indian clothes and food.

We’ll guide you through the chaos of a traditional Mumbai bazar, introducing you to must-see markets such as Crawford Market and Mangaldas Market, as well as some lesser-known ones such as Flower Alley. You’ll see why cows rule supreme in India with a visit to the cow shelter. And along the way, we’ll visit some of the oldest lanes in Mumbai and their most famous temples.
