Gateway of India
Wander Freely to the Gateway of India — Mumbai’s Iconic Seaside Landmark
Colonial Grandeur, Coastal Views, Historic Charm
The Gateway of India, located at the tip of Apollo Bunder in South Mumbai, is one of the city’s most celebrated monuments and a must-visit for any traveler. Built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, this massive basalt arch faces the Arabian Sea and stands as a symbol of Mumbai’s colonial history and cultural fusion.
Framed by the waters of the harbor, flocks of pigeons, street vendors, and the majestic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel nearby — the Gateway is not just a monument, but an experience that reflects the heartbeat of Mumbai.
