Explore Mumbai’s most iconic neighbourhood on a walking tour that unearths and spotlights its hidden histories – the stories that lie behind, around, and within, the buildings, streets and spaces so familiar today.
Walk through the last 200-odd years, traveling through time from a fortified trading outpost transformed by Opium and a daring process of land reclamation into a grand, celebrated colonial core built in an audacious bid to declare the town then known as Bombay a global powerhouse and the ‘first city’ of India.
Learn of congested, poor working class areas hidden from view by this showcase city and devastated by the Bubonic Plague at the end of the 19th century and finally bask in the optimism of the early 20th century and a modernising city on the verge of Indian Independence.
This walk is Mumbai's story - good, bad, funny and always complicated, told by Alisha Sadikot, one of its most ardent chroniclers.
