Add New Circuit to Your Bucket List: – Mumbai, Nagpur, Aurangabad

Are you tired of the same old tourist spots and want to travel somewhere new? The good news for all the wandering souls is that Maharashtra government is now trying to develop the Mumbai, Nagpur and Aurangabad tourist circuit to boost Maharashtra Tourism. The tentative plan is to promote the Mumbai-Nagpur-Aurangabad tourist circuit just like the Jaipur-Delhi-Agra belt and make it a golden tourist hub.

If you are wondering about the importance of this belt, then it must be mentioned here that Mumbai as a metropolitan city at the shore of the Indian Ocean is already one of the major tourist attractions, and nearby is, of course, Aurangabad where we have the beautiful Ajanta and Ellora caves. Let us give you some to-do list that will help you to plan your trip in the best way to bask your soul like never before.

It All Starts At Amchi Mumbai

The starting point of the belt would be the tour to Mumbai from where tourists can get along the Konkan coast to Aurangabad. Of course, given the time and opportunity, it would be lovely to explore Mumbai to your heart’s content for ages. However, that’s not possible, so what you can do about the trip based on the time you have at hand. There is even half a day-long tour package.

Things to Do and The Things to See in Mumbai

Some of the top tourist attractions would be the Gateway of India, Bandra-Worli Sea Link, the iconic Marine Drive, the famous Juhu Beach, the crowded Colaba causeway, the ancient Elephanta Caves and the breathtakingly beautiful ferry to the Elephanta Caves. There are numerous temples as well, most importantly the famous Siddhivinayak Temple, stunning churches and Basilica, and even pagodas. Yet another unmissable tourist spot would be the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, which has at its heart the beautiful Kanheri Caves.

For the adventurous soul, you also have numerous treks which will keep your heart pumping and adrenaline flowing. The best thing about Mumbai is that there is a little something for everyone, whether you are a solo traveller or with your loved one, with friends or even family.
