city! Here in this post, we will take a dig into such underrated and unknown
places in Mumbai which are worth visiting!

Galli or the best known as the ‘Flower Market’ is situated in Dadar. It is much
like an ordinary street but with much more aromatic and colourful touch. The
street turns into an immensely busy flower market between the 5 Am to 9 Am of
the day. Many photographers visit this place to capture the beauty and colours
of this place. It is not only a feast for the senses but also a hub of freshest
flowers. Variety of flowers and at such low prices will make you buy some!
Jogeshwari Caves
Many
people have visited or heard about Kanheri Caves but not many people know about
Jogeshwari Caves. It is one of the oldest cultural heritages in India as it is
predicted that have been there since 520-550 BC. It is not only the largest but
the oldest caves as well. There are carvings of Ganesh and Hanuman on the walls
and pillars making it worth watching. Though it is not much preserved but the
caves get immensely populated at the times of mahashivaratri where worshippers
across the town visit this holy place making it a delight to be there.
CST Heritage Museum
It is a
place that even Mumbaikars don’t know much about. A museum that is located in
the CST. There are thousands of commuters daily going in and out of Chhatrapati
Shivaji Terminus (CST) but hardly a few visiting the museum despite being
inside the station itself. The museum beautifully showcases the history of
trains in India and also has an amazingly crafted miniature version of CST which
replicates the gorgeous architecture of the artefact.
Pagoda
Global
Vipassana Pagoda is a place for all the peace lovers out there. Since it is
located on the Manori Island not many people know about this. But due to many
influencers promoting this scenic beauty, this place has finally been garnering
audiences. It is a go-to place for the people who are more spirituality
included. It is so silent and peaceful that you instantly fall for its
solidarity. We already have a beautiful article about this place on how to get
there and what all you should know about this place. You can read about it on

corner. It is a shrine of the grandfather of Aga Khan who was the religious
leader of the Shia Muslims. It is popularly known as the ‘Taj Mahal of Mumbai’
by the localites. It is not known to many people so many tourists tend to
overlook this place and visit the major hotspots of the city instead.
Sewri Flamingo Point
This is a
delight for all the bird lovers out there. Imagine watching thousands of
migratory birds that too in your city without even going to some wildlife
sanctuary. Yes! Sewri Flamingo Point is exactly where you should head to if you
want to see migratory flamingos gathered in huge numbers. The birds usually are
seen between October to March, making this place a hubbub of photographers

even more charming and pleasing. Some steps take you to the top of the hill and
there are 2 temples on the top coupled with a mind ravelling beauty of the city

extremely surprising to such an ancient relic amidst the luxurious apartments
of Malabar hill. Some people say that it is there since 1127 AD and is a secret
oasis for the Mumbaikars.

of the many forts of Mumbai that people tend to overlook. This fort was built
by the British East India Company. It is a beautiful place for photographers as

pan plus, rich heritage that it holds is a something that interests people who
have a profound love for history and forts.
Sassoon Docks

Docks have to be on the list because of the way they are artistically
renovated. In 2017, Public Art Collective of India along with a handful of
artist gathered around the docks and completely changed the view for any
tourist. The complete makeover has entirely changed the looks of the docks making
it a standout place. Many influencers were then seen promoting and appreciating
the murals and beautiful artworks of the docks. It is also one of the biggest
fish markets of India where you can find a variety of fresh fishes. This place
should be on your ‘go-to list’ if you are into arts and culture.
