Mumbai India Gate Ferry Ride
Today we’ve come for ferry ride on the historic India Gate in Colaba, Mumbai.
The iconic Taj Mahal Hotel is an icon that stands like a mirage by the Arabian Sea and embodies the indomitable spirit of, The City of Dreams.
We took a ferry ride which costed us hundred and fifteen rupees per person. The sun was setting in and the views were to get really scenic.
The area has a number of private yacht clubs and marinas that cater to the boating community. These facilities offer a range of services, including boat storage, maintenance, repair, and fueling. Some of the popular yacht clubs and marinas in the area include the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, the Colaba Sailing Club, and the Mumbai Port Trust Boat Club.
The Arabian Sea offers stunning views of Colaba, with the skyline of the city and the Western Ghats in the distance creating a beautiful backdrop.
The Arabian Sea is the largest sea in the world, covering an area of about 3.8 million square kilometers.
The seafront of Colaba is home to several restaurants and cafes that offer spectacular views of the sea and the Mumbai skyline.
The Mumbai coastline is also an important shipping route for trade between India, the Middle East, and Africa, and large cargo ships and tankers can often be seen from the sea.
The coastline of Colaba is dotted with several iconic structures and buildings, such as the Naval Dockyard and the Mumbai Port Trust, which are visible from the sea.
The Colaba harbour is one of the oldest harbours in Mumbai and has a rich history dating back to the British colonial period.
The Naval Dockyard Colaba is a historic naval base and shipyard located in Colaba, Mumbai, and is the headquarters of the Western Naval Command of the Indian Navy.
The dockyard was originally established by the British East India Company in the 18th century as a repair and maintenance facility for their ships.
The dockyard played an important role in India's struggle for independence, as it was the site of a major naval mutiny in 1946 that helped to catalyze the country's independence movement.
The Naval Dockyard Colaba is one of the largest and most advanced naval shipyards in India and has been responsible for the construction and repair of many of the country's warships and submarines.
The dockyard is home to several state-of-the-art facilities, including a modern shipbuilding complex, a submarine repair and maintenance facility, and a naval hospital.
The dockyard is also home to several historic structures, including the Admiral's House, a colonial-era mansion that was once the residence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Indian Navy.
The Naval Dockyard Colaba is a restricted area and is not open to the public, but visitors can get a glimpse of the naval ships and submarines from the seafront of Colaba.
The Naval Dockyard Colaba plays a crucial role in ensuring the security and defense of India's coastline and is an important symbol of the country's military strength and readiness.
The Gateway of India served as the ceremonial entrance to India for British viceroys and governors.
The monument is 26 meters tall and was designed by the British architect, George Wittet.
The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel was built in 1903 and is one of the oldest and most iconic luxury hotels in India.
The hotel faced a terrorist attack in November 2008, when a group of 10 militants belonging to the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba launched coordinated attacks in various parts of Mumbai, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.
The hotel has since become a symbol of Mumbai's resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
During the attack, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan of the Indian Army's Special Forces unit, played a crucial role in rescuing hostages and engaging with the terrorists.
His bravery and sacrifice were widely recognized and honored by the Indian government and people, and he was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry award.
We ended our day by watching the Mumbai’s Skyline from the nearby marine drive.
