2nd Day In Mumbai

This is my 2nd day in Mumbai and I am going to tell you all the things about best shopping places, places to visit and restaurants in Mumbai.


ISKCON Temple:


One of the most beautiful temple of Lord Krishna.
ISKCON Temple known as Sri Sri Radha Rasabihari ji Temple is a temple in Juhu area.It is set upon four acres of land and a stone throw away from Juhu Beach A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of ISKCON inspired the construction of  one of India's most beautiful temple of Lord Krishna in Mumbai as I said earlier.

The presiding Deities at the temple, Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, Sri Sri Radha Rasabihari and Sri Sri Sita Rama Laxman Hanuman were personally installed by the founder of ISKCON.
The temple is visited thousands of people and devotees during festive occasions.

Linking Road:


Best place for shopping in Mumbai.
Linking Road is a road which extends from Bandra Talkies to Shanti Ashram , Bandra in Mumbai.
Linking Road and Hill Road were two of the main shopping hubs in the suburbs of Mumbai. Over the years this shopping hub has stretched beyond its original length.The road starts from S>V Road in Bandra where you will find brands like Shoppers Stop and Titan on wards to Khar, Ragal for shoes ,Woodland,Adidas,Nike and other international brands are located.It extends beyond this towards Santacruz and Juhu in the north of the city where you will find brands like Benetton, Zara, Forever New amoung others.
Popular Brands : Shopper’s Stop, Woodland,Addidas, Nike, US Polo ...

It is a shopping hub for every pocket size with everything from street stalls selling products for a bragain to niche stores and boutiques for specialized products to high end international brands.
In Santacruz there isa famous Arya Samaj Mandir and on the end there is Juhu garden which has an aeroplane model;also there are a chain of stores all called Elite with different business.

You will definitely spend your 2-3 hrs in shopping.

Bandra-Worli Sea Link:



Its a bridge.The sea link connects the interaction of the Western Express Highway and Swami Vivekanand Road in Bandra to the Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan Road in Worli Seaface, it connects to Mumbai's arterial Annie Besant Road.


BWSL was designed as the first cable-stayed bridge to be constructed in open seas in India.The 20,000 tonne Bandra-end span of the bridge deck is supported by stay cables within a very close tolerance of deviations in plan and elevation.

The superstructure of the viaducts were the heaviest precast segments to be built in India.They were built using a span-by-span method using overhead gantry thorogh a series of vertical and horizontal curves.This bridge will enable it to withstand earthquake measuring up to 7.0 .
The reclamation area which marks the beginning of bridge from Bandra side offers an excellent view of Mumbai Skyline ,epecially in the evening.You are going from Nariman point to airport or city, this should be your choise for peak hours.


The day gets over and its time to sit besides the Marine Drive to see the view of non stop Mumbai.
