Best photo locations in Mumbai, India?

[haring]

What are the best photo locations in and around Mumbai? I will spend the weekend there and I would like to take some cool photos!
Have you ever been there? What location was you favorite? Do you have any photos you can show us?

Try Dhobi Ghat, the big outdoor laundry. Get a "guide" there and go inside, most people just shoot it from an overpass.

Pune is a small city up high close to Mumbai. Easier to get around the town, cooler and quite photogenic , especially during the Ganash Festival.
The Aga Khan Palace is nice and quiet.
These are with this kit,

The only place I shot at in Mumbai was at the Gateway to India, by the ocean. You'll probably end up there as it's one of the most common sites in the city.

You're visiting Mumbai when it's gonna be mostly hot and muggy. And most festivals are some months away. The marathons are in January usually so that's off too.
Monsoon is the best time to visit or just after monsoon -if you don't like getting wet.

I'm still not sure if you're shooting people buildings And in what format - choices of what and where to shoot will depend on that.
Also -are you staying north or south of the city? In proper Mumbai?

Mumbai is an entirely N-S City. Traveling takes time if you're on either end and head to the other - and that might just throw out the options of available light shooting.

If looking to shoot people or sunset a good place is the Juhu beach area. There's areas around Chattrapati Shivaji Station that are populated by century old buildings and cricket grounds, if that interests you.

Gateway is a place that imo smells of the sea too much. But you've got the iconic Taj Hotel opposite it, and there's the Necklace Road.

Awesome! I am going to be shooting a wedding and I was thinking where I could take the couple to take some awesome creative photos reflecting Mumbai...
