Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is known as India’s financial capital, and is the home of Bollywood. This city is busy, fast paced, and culturally vibrant. As the commercial center of India, this city is densely populated, and hosts one of Asia’s largest slums. However, Mumbai’s slums are relatively functional as they host an industry of small businesses, including pottery and leather production, which tourists can explore through local NGO tours. Tourists can also indulge in Indian cuisine in Khau Galli, home to famous local go-to dishes. As the sun sets, you can take a walk along the busy streets of Crawford Market where you can bargain for traditional clothes and souvenirs.
