Mumbai, we're coming. Mumbai is a sensory overload where workers, artists, celebrities and fishermen all walk the same walk. This afternoon, you'll have a chance to experience the city with an optional Khau Gully Food Tour, which celebrates the seismic street food of Mumbai.

Today is yours to do as much (or as little) as you like. Tonight is our final night together, so let's make sure we do it right Who's for sunset drinks by the sea??

Even the biggest and best adventures have to end at some point, and this morning sees the finale of ours. After a final breakfast together its time for the long (and possibly teary) goodbye. Sure youll be sad, but remembering all of the massive moments and seemly insignificant giggles in-between will see you smiling your whole journey home.
