MAHARASHTRA
Calling Code: +91
Where better to begin your travels than along the shores of the Arabian
Sea, in the beautiful state of Maharashtra. An excellent and natural starting
point is the coastal metropolis of Mumbai (once known as Bombay), an international
city with a lively cultural scene, exclusive boutiques, colorful ethnic markets
and bazaars, and many of the nation's finest restaurants.
To get the insider perspective on the best the city has to offer, consider touring
with the experts at Micato Safaris, India. You'll view the city's colonial architecture
through the eyes of a renowned art historian and critic, take a behind-the-scenes
tour of the fascinating Chor Bazaar and enjoy a private, after hours visit to
the Prince of Wales Museum with its superb Indian paintings, illustrated manuscripts
and exquisite miniatures.
If you'd like a little pampering at the end of the day, The Oberoi, Mumbai is
the place to stay. An elegant oasis overlooking the Arabian Sea, The Oberoi specializes
in impeccable service and understated luxury, as exemplified by the sublime Oberoi
Spa by Banyan Tree. Three restaurants, a bar, a swimming pool, personal butlers
and a shopping arcade with more than 250 shops round out this hotel's exceptional
amenities.
Beyond Mumbai, the marvels of Maharashtra await you. An exciting yet comfortable
way to experience the region is on a seven day luxury rail journey aboard the
Deccan Odyssey. This plus train whisks you away to some of Maharashtra's most
fascinating sites including the ancient cave temples of Ajanta and Ellora, both
World Heritage Sites; and Goa, a seaside haven.
