Mumbai Side Trip: Cultural and Heritage Tour of Vasai

Peaceful palm-lined streets, unspoiled beach, and pervasive Portuguese heritage make the town of Vasai. Vasai is located in the northern outskirts of Mumbai, surprisingly reminiscent of Goa. You'd never guess but Vasai was once of more importance than Mumbai. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was a headquarters of Portuguese rule with a thriving fort city. Nowadays, it's a cool oasis that feels blissfully stuck in a time warp. On this tour you will see a contrasting side to Mumbai, from Old churches to fishing colonies to a local home-made food to a 5 time world UNESCO awardee wood carver.
