    Dhobi Ghat in Mumbai is a fascinating open-air laundromat where hundreds of washermen (dhobis) clean clothes in rows of concrete wash pens. A symbol of Mumbai’s hardworking spirit, it offers a unique glimpse into the city’s traditional laundry system. A must-visit for photographers and culture enthusiasts!

    One of the most famous temple in Pune. It has its own history. We went on a new year day to start an year with Ganesha"s blessings . It was super crowded and to take tat kal tickets also , there was que. After taking the ticket, once we get inside the line It will just take 5 mins to take darshan. You will get that divine feeling and vibration when you go and stand infont of the Idol. That experience is enough that then understood why this temple was that much famous.

    Beautiful florals and gorgeous lighting create a wonderful atmosphere. The temple is well arranged. The only thing missing is the mushak (maybe because it is a festival) the rest is good. Holy and pious, the whole process is very systematic so it is not troublesome even when it is very crowded, it is also very clean, people may need to be a little careful when buying flowers and items for worship as they want to cheat you subtly, negotiate the price beforehand, and also beware of pickpockets.

  • Shaniwar Wada

    The Indian government's courtesy to foreigners is a shocking education as can be seen from the huge difference in ticket prices! This palace is a great blessing for the stay-at-home geeks. Gandhi was very lucky to be able to live in this palace during the Second World War when Britain was busy with World War II. Was Gandhi placed under house arrest when he was invited to live in this palace? It is better to say that he took good care of his wife. Although his wife died here, she was protected in a very comfortable environment! How about thinking in reverse? It is also positive energy.

    The seaside is still very spectacular. After passing the famous "Gate of India" in Mumbai, you will see the Indian Ocean. However, India is really dirty, with garbage everywhere on the ground. The sea water is not blue at all, like the Yellow River.

    In the north of Mumbai, there is a huge national park with decent scenery but some backward facilities. You can only get in by car and it may take 2 hours to walk. Inside you can see the place where monks practiced 2000 years ago.

    Found it fun! The little one was happy - it would be better if they offered more activities because after 20 minutes you have finished with the slides and some equipment to play with.
