Heritage Walks & History Tours in Mumbai
10 events coming up across Mumbai — mostly heritage (10). 1 is free.
Mumbai's history is best seen on foot, and guided walks run most weekends from October to March. Fort and Kala Ghoda are the starting point: the Victorian Gothic buildings around the Oval Maidan and the Art Deco blocks of Marine Drive together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Other routes explore Ballard Estate, Horniman Circle and the Asiatic Society, the wooden houses of Khotachiwadi in Girgaon, Banganga Tank at Walkeshwar, the bazaars around Chor Bazaar, Byculla and Mazgaon, and the old villages of Bandra. Day trips take in the Elephanta Caves, reached by ferry from the Gateway of India and closed on Mondays, and the Kanheri Caves inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park. This page lists heritage walks, museum tours, talks and history events across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.
