BICYCLE TOURSleeping bodies dot the pathways that so many rush past during the day. Some devotees come out and perform puja, and others jog or do yoga before the heat of the day arrives. Mumbai is an entirely different place before the day starts: serene and peaceful, with light and mist spreading through the sky and promising another opportunity to every person in the city. Come and see for yourself, and enjoy a little exercise! HIGHLIGHTSCST station: See the facade of one of the busiest railway stations in the country, and the historical site of the terrorist attacks in November 2008. The award-winning movie “Slumdog Millionaire” was also shot here! Sassoon Dock: Built by David Sassoon, this dock is the main fish loading and trading center in South Mumbai. The people working in this community are Kolis: the original inhibitants of Mumbai city. Bombay Panjrapole: This is one of the oldest spaces used for the welfare of cows: over 400 cows live here! The cow is considered sacred by Hindus, and to increase their karma, people will come to the shelter to feed the cows. Mumbadevi Temple: This is the historical Hindu temple after which 'Mumbai' city was named. Here, one can receive 'prasad', blessings from Hindu priests. Marine Drive: Cycle on the 3km long walkway along the coast of Arabian sea. It's a popular in the evenings, for the beautiful view and the amazing snacks. However, a trip along Marine Drive in the morning is a mysterious, sleepy view out over the ocean. Enjoy the peace and beauty of this view!
