Stayed at Midland, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

Mumbai is a nice place. There are many tourist spots to visit. I would recommend the gateway of india and elephanta island tour as a must for visitors to Bombay. For foreign tourists, the Mahalaxmi and SiddhiVinayaka temples are good ways to see a beautiful Hindu temple and obtain these powerful deities' blessings. One should definetly visit Juhu Beach by night where the atmosphere is filled with fun and games. The Hare Rama and Hare Krishna temple is also a good place to visit. I got around by taxi very often and never took Auto Rickshaw. Anyway, the auto is never allowed into the city centre. I hired a taxi for about Rs.700 per day where the driver will take you on a tour to places and also recommend the good restaurants and stores where items can be purchased at a good price. I would recommend the restaurant at hotel vihar( nxt. to hotel midland). Sheetal is a good store where all types of clothing can be purchased.

Stayed at Narain Niwas Palace - Jaipur, India.
|
Recommended restaurants; Niros, Copper Chimney and Chanakya all on MI Road.
Best tip - hire a taxi for a whole day cost about Ruppees 500. Get the driver to take you to the Amber Fort and Nahar Garh Fort, which has excellent views over Jaipur. Also visit Gaitor on outskirts of the city which houses the excellent marble tombs of the local rulers.
If you go on organised tours you'll be taken to lots of expensive tourist shops, so best avoid this.
