Mumbai is a stop on India's West Bank worth making a special stop. For 2 days and 1 night, between India Gate and Bollywood, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Mumbai.
Before venturing deep into Mumbai, the presence of India Gate had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, and I just wanted to stand a little longer.
Bollywood is the most captivating part of Mumbai. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.
Avoiding the crowds and slipping into Victoria Station, Mumbai reveals itself as it truly is. Old people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all settle into your memories before the sights do.
After nightfall, Mumbai's Jopathi Beach lights up, and the warm yellow glow gently harvests the grandeur of the day. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.
When leaving Mumbai, I felt a bit reluctant, but what played in my mind was India Gate. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved the trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
