I had been to Mumbai in March, 2014, then I got a chance to visit gateway of India with my friends. This place is very happening through out the day and in the evening time, the lightning effect makes it more adorable. One can easily see Taj Hotel just as it is just opposite to that hotel.
One small lake is also there behind Gateway of India which makes it more beautiful. It is one of the best place to hang out with friends or family and it is easily accessible from the city. You can easily get shared cabs from the local railway station and I have had some unforgettable moments at that place as it was my first journey to Mumbai.
