Mumbai Biggest Tourist Mistakes #India #mumbai #travel

Full Mumbai video for 24 hours in maximum city is now up on YouTube! Click the link in bio for all the tips on how to make the most out of your short stay in the city of dreams.

Here's some extra tips on things to avoid in order to have the best time in Mumbai:

1 Don't do too much. People think they can run sround Mumbai like 30+ degrees heat and heavy traffic is nothing. On top of that, the city is MASSIVE and there's just way too much to do than you could ever fit in 24 hours. Trying to see everything will get you wiped out before lunch. Instead of setting yourself up for disappointment please just pick 2-3 things max and plan breaks in between. This way you'll actually enjoy the things you see, and also keep a buffer for some unexpected Mumbai fun (and there always is unexpected Mumbai fun lol)

2 Mumbai has some of the best street food in India, and as someone said in a previous reel you do need to pace yourself if you're not used to spices. However completely skipping street food, especially as a foodie, is a grave mistake. Some not super spicy Mumbai local foods are pav bhaji, vada pav (chutneys can be very spicy though so try the first before adding them), and poha. Just tryvthe at crowded stalls as the turnover is high there, and you'll be a happy foodie

3 The purpose of visiting a slum has always gone above my head, but too many tourists see to be fascinated by Slumdog Millionaire. The reality is that Dharavi, or any other slum fro that matter, is not a film set. It's someone's home. To come in like it's a zoo and wonder over the pverty porn is not just not fun, but in my eyes also morally wrong. Mumbai has so much beautiful architecture, stunning views, and really fun local markets. Replace slum tours with these and trust me you'll have a better time in Mumbai.

Anything else I missed? Let me know!

PS the YouTube video has some of my favourite, but also new places to visit in Mumbai in case you need specific recommendations.

I really like your easy going explore style. I seriously don't understand, why people want to visit slums? Watch other people in vulnerable situations to feel grateful? Maybe I am taking it too seriously 😅

Foreign vlogger searches hotels in India online finds a sweet spot between US$ 40 to US$ 80. Then puts price under US$ 20 and selects the worst hotels.

I think you are happy in India because where HAPPINESS also SADNESS But I want to tell you that when you buy packaged food please see the ingredients because where Lays use vegetables oil in America they use palmolin oil in India. Only use cold pressed oil in infront in oil store skipping more packaged food here have a great KISSAN JAM which have 56 gram refined sugar in 100 gram content

As a office assignment, I once took a foreigner to Mahaxmi dhobi ghat, Haji Ali and Dharavi because it was in their to do list... and boy I was so uncomfortable to be there being born and brought up in Mumbai. Why would a foreigner travel to India and want to visit dirty slums?

With due apology to Mumbaikars, honestly, Mumbai appears to least liked Metro 2Me, mad mad rush, fishy smell and highly mechanical and indifferent mob 😊😊.
