The first walk from was from Gateway of India to Mumbai University introduced the city of Mumbai, its history, heritage with focus on its architecture.
The route offered a grand testimony to the British Mumbai and presented landmarks of colonial architecture such as Gateway of India, Maharashtra Police Headquarters, Regal Cinema, Institute of Science, Prince of Wales Museum, Kala Ghoda Area, Mumbai University, etc. An array of architectural styles such as Neo-Gothic, Indo-Saracenic, Neo-Classical, Art Deco have truly established the cosmopolitan character of the city of Mumbai.
A walk through the myriad lanes of Mumbai is always exciting, as one is ought to stumble upon a hidden treasure; a missing piece in the narrative of the city.
