The monument is really impressive. Be ready for a security check to enter this zone.

Be sure to enjoy some Chai from a Chaiwala whilst here.

Nice peace .. Must visit for those who haven't visited;)

Always buzzing and great to see sunsets and off course ferries

Beautiful view , make sure to head to taj for high tea after!

If you're on the morning journey, try the upper deck. Only additional Rs10 applied. But a big no for the afternoon session!

So crowded that there is even security control. From here you can catch a cheap ferry to cross the bay

Famous for being the first landmark visible to those coming to Mumbai by the sea!
