You will be right in the centre of all the action, as thousands of illiterate vendors sort out newspapers of 7 different languages, that too in the middle of the road.

You will understand the logistics of the food distribution in the city as 100 tonnes of meat, fruits and vegetables enter the various markets.

Milkmen driving past with Milk canisters; delivery of freshly baked bread, to the melee of colour and fragrance at the flower market, all these bazaars add to the frenzy of Mumbai. Another highlight is the ‘all herb mandi’ spread across a popular bridge. Possibly the only market of its kind in the world, this green market has thousand vendors sitting atop a bridge selling various leafy vegetables.

We end this detour with a walk across a cricket ground and learn about the game that has captured the hearts of a billion.
