MARKET TOUR

Women of every faith and background haggle at vegetable stalls, talking with their hands. Some wear full burqas, others saris in flamboyant colours, or in Western clothes. Cows roam freely through the streets, feeding on food waste. Mouth-watering hot jalebi sweets fry in enormous, spluttering vats of oil. Beautiful swatches of silk and cotton cloth flutter in the wind, teasing and tempting the passerby.

Markets are essential to the daily life of every Mumbaikar, and our tour will give visitors a glimpse of this vibrant part of Bombay's streets.
