Set in the slums of Mumbai, Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire' swept the 2009 academy awards with 8 Oscars, and showcased to millions across the globe- the amazing world of Mumbai's slums and its dwellers. But if you thought that slums were all there was to Mumbai.. Think again! Popularly known by its erstwhile name, Bombay, this vibrant port city overlooking the sparkling Arabian sea is home to more than 16 million people and is also popular for being the business capital of India, for its multi million dollar film industry, its burgeoning fashion scene, vibrant culture, rich history, effervescent nightlife, shopping avenues and a plethora of other delights. This is a city that has no parallels anywhere in the world… a city of so many contrasts and highlights that it will leave you enchanted.

Most of India is at its best from October to March, when the monsoon has cleared and the days are dry and warm. April to June is hot across the plains but ideal for the Himalaya, and the south-west monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, deep green landscapes and the lowest prices of the year.
