Mumbai: India Travel Guide to Main Attractions
Mumbai is home to some of the best attractions in the world, there’s endless things to do, places to see and towns to visit. If you’re more of a city person you can take a look at the magnificent buildings that Mumbai has to offer, or if you’re abit more of the adventures type you could go spend a day looking and walking around the slums and getting a real feel of what it would be like to live in India. Some of Mumbai’s main attractions include the Gateway of India, Bolly wood and Haji Ali.
The gateway of india was built during the British Raj and is located on the waterfront in the Appolo Bunder area. The structure is a basalt arch, 26 metres high and it is open to the public. Bollywood is a large film industry used for the Hindi language. Bollywood actors are as big or even bigger then some of the best actors in the world. The Haji Ali Dargah is a tomb located on an islet off the west coast of Worli in the Southern part of Mumbai. It was a tomb constructed in 1431 in memory of a wealthy Muslim merchant. It is a very popular tourist attraction as it gives you a feel of what India is really like. It is open to everyone and I would highly recommend going there.

Toursim helps the poor because it provides the indian economy with money and when people visit the slums they often feel bad for the people or children so they give them money. It helps the kids in the slum to get some kind of money and even the smallest amounts can go a far way. It means that they can buy a meal to help feed not only them but there

    Taj Mahal

    I think a gigantic funerary mosque of white marble, built in Agra by order of the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, the Taj Mahal is the most perfect jewel of Moslem art in India and is one of the universally admired architectures of the world's heritage. Not only see the beautiful Taj Mahal from the video, I also knew the history of itself and its country. A white marble tomb sums up many of the formal themes that have played through Islamic architecture. The video did talk a lot of how much Shah Jahan himself and his father loved art and made many gorgeous artworks. Taj Mahal's refined style is a conspicuous contrast to the Hindu architecture of pre-Islamic India, with its thick walls, arches, and heavy supports. Even though Taj Mahal is the symbol of grief and sadness, it still has it beauty looks from marble and sand stone.…

    The state of Goa, India, is famous for its beaches and places of worship, and tourism is its primary industry. Tourism is generally focused on the coastal areas of Goa, with decreased tourist activity inland. Foreign tourists, mostly from Europe, arrive in Goa in winter whilst the summer and monsoon seasons see a large number of Indian tourists. Goa handled 7% of all foreign tourist arrivals in the country in 2011.[1][2] This relatively small state is situated on the western coast of India, between the borders of Maharashtra and Karnataka and is better known to the world as a former Portuguese enclave on Indian soil. Influenced by over 450 years of Portuguese rule and Latin culture, Goa presents a somewhat different representation of the country to foreign visitors. Major tourist attractions include: Bom Jesus Basilica, Fort Aguada, a wax museum on Indian culture and a heritage museum. TheChurches and Convents of Goa have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.…
