Landing in Mumbai

From Bollywood to beautiful beaches, Mumbai offers a unique holiday experience. Each year, over thirty million passengers pass through Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, located a little over three miles north of downtown Mumbai. Gulf, Saudi Arabian Airlines, and Emirates are just three of the several airlines that serve the airport. Check with ebookers for affordable fares.

Transportation in Mumbai

If you decide to rent a car for your holiday in Mumbai, all three terminals of the airport contain car rental agencies for your convenience. Taxi services are also available from the terminals on a prepaid or walk-up basis. Many passengers choose the Mumbai Suburban Railway Network as an option for getting around the city. Take bus route 312 from the domestic terminals or bus route 321 from the international terminals to connect with the railway station at Vile Parle East. Auto rickshaws are also available outside the domestic terminals at metered fares, but be advised that the service area is rather small.

Weather in Mumbai

Temperatures in Mumbai remain rather steady throughout the year, although humidity and precipitation do fluctuate. Daily highs average between 29 and 33°C, although they have been known to climb much higher. Humidity peaks in late August to September, so packing light cotton-based clothing is a good idea. The rainy season is from June to September, making packing rain gear a must.

When to Go to Mumbai

The majority of visitors to Mumbai arrive after the rainy season, in October. You might have trouble finding rooms or decent flight fares on travel due to high demand at this time. If the weather does not bother you, plan a trip in the humid months of August and September when hotels are significantly lower, and don’t forget to check with ebookers for deals. If you arrive at this time, plan to experience the Ganesh Chaturthi, the feast in honour of the elephant-headed Lord Ganesh. While you’re in the city, take the time to enjoy the variety of temples, marketplaces, and museums that make Mumbai truly special.
