India GO
Colaba
The Gateway & the Taj
The Gateway of India, the legendary Taj Mahal Palace hotel, Colaba Causeway stalls and arty cafes. Ferries to the Elephanta caves leave from here.
The city's southern tip: the Gateway of India over the water, the Taj Mahal Palace facing it, and behind them Colaba Causeway, a kilometre and a half of stalls, cafes and old restaurants. Ferries leave for Elephanta from here; the art cafes and bars have outlived every era of the city. If you have one day in Mumbai, it happens here.
