\n Bustling Mumbai<\/strong> is always on the move. Take a seat in the stands during one of the many cricket matches. Or go for a cultural tour of museums and galleries on Kala Goda.<\/strong> The raw charm of a port city is palpable, even in the chic neighbourhoods where colonial architecture reveals a whim of past. The British have been gone for years, but the high-tea never left the country. Soak up the delicious scents as you walk across one of the many colourful markets, or indulge your taste buds with India’s most stylish restaurants. For the true Indian taste, close with a cinema visit: drop out of the latest Bollywood film.<\/p>\n \n In Kolkata<\/strong> (formerly Calcutta) you will be welcomed with a cup of chai masala. In the former capital, a festival takes place almost every month. Ganesha, Shiva and Vishnu are honoured among the ancient British buildings. Flowers are available 24 hours a day at mullik Ghat’s <\/strong>flower market. In the green Maidan park <\/strong>they grow in the wild.<\/p>\n \n Also in Delhi <\/strong>are many parks. Small oases of tranquility in the big city. But both Old and New Delhi have more surprises. If you have energy, climb the 40-metre high minaret of the Jama Masjid mosque<\/strong>: see the city from a different perspective at a height of forty meters. Or see the streets through the eyes of street kids who take you on tour. True adventurers can take part in a guided bike ride; a very special and fun way to explore the narrow streets of Old Delhi! In Haus Khaz Village <\/strong>you will find hip boutiques with the latest design gear. In the Sikh temple Gurudwara Bangla Sahib<\/strong> there are old cooking pots. Stroll past the golden altar of this temple and help prepare meals for the underprivive. After an afternoon you are a professional chapati baker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.
