Bombay to Gateway of India Tour
Approx. Time: 1 hoursActivity Level: Easiest
Gateway of India, the principal landmark of Mumbai, was the principal port through which visitors came to India by ship. The gateway was conceived following the visit of King George V to India in 1911, and was officially opened in 1924. Its architecture is akin to the conventional Arch of Triumph, with elements derived from Muslim styles of 16th century Gujarat. Near the gateway is the Colaba Causeway which extends to the end of Colaba promontory, the southern end of Mumbai Island. Sassoon dock is always interesting to visit at dawn when the fishing boats come in and unload their catch. Courtesy of the India Tourism Board
