Travel Guide

Food:

Naan bread is an oven baked, leavened bread, that is normally paired with stew, curry, or dal.

Safe Accommodations:

I always recommend first going to Airbnb to check out the options on there. Airbnbs change all the time with some going on the market and others going off, so for my recommendations I will be sticking to hotels. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t great Airbnb options out there, so check them out first.

Mumbai has a large coastline of over 149 kilometers long.
