Chowpatty Beach, India

From series “Dangerous and Treacherous Beaches That Can Be Lethal”
In Mumbai, there is a beach, which is probably no tourist as attractive. The once beautiful and clean Chowpatty beach looks today rather than a giant trash heap, which serves as the seagull. Although the beach is regularly cleared, the garbage piles are not smaller. This is because Chowpatty has been the place where many national holidays have taken place for many years. And on the weekend the parties or festivals are held here.

The experienced tourists claim that the coast in the late summer looks most clean and beautiful when prepared for the annual festivals Ganesh Chaturthi. Before the holiday the beach is carefully cleared. On Chowpatty you set the big stage. The festival dedicated to God Ganesha usually begins at the end of August and lasts until September.

The festival is incredibly interesting and always attracts the many tourists. The snake charmers, the monks, the astrologers and the painters, as well as the excellent gymnasts and the musicians, take part. The only drawback of these great events is the incredible amount of garbage left on the beach. After the beach was chosen as a permanent place of the major events and holidays, it was almost unsuitable for the usual repairs. Next - Fraser Island Beaches

Top destination around Chowpatty Beach - Bombay

People rarely include such an add location as a post office to their touristic route through a new city. However, Mumbai General Post Office is definitely worth checking out, as it’s a historic landmark of the city. The main post office of the city was built in 1913 and occupies an area of 11,000 square meters. This luxurious colonial building houses not only the post office but the country's main telegraph office as well. The interior design of the building is also rather impressive. The main hall is adorned with several sculptures dedicated to the famous Indian national heroes. And, of course, here you can send a beautiful postcard to your homeland to commemorate your visit to the main post office of India.

All fans of culinary tourism will find many places of interest in Bombay, and we’re not talking about fashionable restaurants and such. Refreshing drinks are a crucial part of the Indian national cuisine. Which is not surprising, given the sweltering heat that literally melts the city during the hottest parts of the day. Thankfully enough, it’s easy to quench your thirst on city streets, where the most popular refreshing drinks are offered to passers-by all day long. The most common drink offered to European tourists is lemonade, also known as "Nimbu Pani". Some tents sell a classic lemonade with lemon juice, while others offer more original options with ginger and maple syrup.
