Mumbai
A colonial railway station busy enough to qualify as a tourist attraction in its own right, a film industry that outproduces Hollywood most years without most of the world noticing, and street food stalls where the queue is the only reliable quality signal you need.
The best time to visit Mumbai is Nov–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (86°F). Local time there is 22:02 (UTC+5:30).
