Go Local - A Mile in Their Shoes - Bandra

Live like a Mumbaikar for a day by joining a local resident as she goes about her daily routine in the upscale suburb of Bandra. Your immersion into the lifestyle will begin at a bustling bazaar that offers most everything imaginable for sale. You will watch as your hostess haggles with vendors and purchases the garden-fresh items she typically needs for the day. On the ride to her home, you will share the road with rickshaws, motorbikes and even cows as you proceed into Bandra, a now posh residential area that the Portuguese founded in the 1700s. While enjoying a home-cooked meal of traditional Anglo-Indian dishes in her residence, you can expect the conversation with your hostess to be lively and candid. Feel free to ask whatever questions come to mind. After parting, you will toast the day with a cup of hot chai at a local home in Pali Village.
