Mumbai: The city of dreams has long been referred to as Gateway of India. Ancient yet modern, fabulously rich yet achingly poor, Mumbai is a microcosm of India. Wealthy industrialists, flashy film stars, internationally acclaimed artists, workers, teachers and clerks - all existing cheek by jowl in soaring skyscrapers and sprawling slums, Mumbai vibrates with the urban urgency of millions of people in motion, day or night.

Mumbai has imposing multi-storeyed buildings, crowded thoroughfares, busy markets, shopping centres and beautiful tourist spots. Places worth visiting are the 19th century Jain Temple with its silver doors, the Kamala Nehru Park and the Ferozshah Mehta Gardens known as the Hanging Gardens of Bombay and the Towers of Silence where the Parsis dispose their dead. Visit Mani Bhavan where Mahatma Gandhi spent 17 years of his life working for the freedom of India. Also visit the Prince of Wales Museum, which has an excellent collection of miniatures.

Goa: Sun, Sand & Rhythm of the soul.......Goa conjures up a land of scenic beauty with abundance of the “sun, sand and sea”. Known as "Pearl of the Orient" and a "Tourist Paradise", the state of Goa is located on the western coast of India in the coastal belt known as Konkan.

From the sanctity of the temples, mosques and churches to the shimmering sands of the beaches, Goa offers a strange mix of Portuguese and Indian cultures, set in the lap of nature's luxury. One usually finds what one seeks in these magnificent stretches of sand and sea, whether it is solitude, tranquility , beauty or just pure fun.

Gujarat: Gujarat has some fascinating and distinctive architecture, some picuturesque landscape- from the desert in the northwest to irrigated fields in the southeast – and a few good beaches.
