Trip360 has planned a neighbourhood walking tour that unearths and spotlights Mumbai's hidden histories – the stories that lie behind, around, and within, the buildings, streets and spaces so familiar today.
They will walk back through South Mumbai's earliest history as a lonely island acquired by traders of the East India Co., follow its journey from a struggling fortified town into a crowded, cosmopolitan, trading centre, then to its place at the heart of 19th century developments that transformed Bombay into British India’s ‘first city’, and, finally, to area’s unique post-independence challenges and changes in identity. On the way, you get to meet and hear from diarists, novelists and poets who share their experiences of the city now known as Mumbai, in their own voice, as only they can.
Post the walk, you can also join them for breakfast at a heritage eatery.
