The west of India is dominated by the vibrant city of Mumbai, considered by many to be the cultural capital of the country, and where visitors can explore Bollywood, the many designer shops or experience the city’s charismatic street life. North of here lie the Ellora Caves, hugely impressive Indian rock-cut architecture and the Ajanta Caves, masterpieces of Buddhist religious art. Further south, Goa offers miles of beautiful beaches lined with palm trees, making it a perfect place to relax.
