    Global Vipassana Pagoda

    One of the top tourist places in Mumbai, Global Vipassana Pagoda is a place of serenity and chastity. Primarily spreading the teachings of Lord Buddha, this place not only attracts the followers of Buddha; but also spreads peace to self-seekers. Declared as one of the "One of Seven Wonders of Maharashtra" by Maharashtra Tourism, it is the world's largest pillar-less stone dome structure in the world, with breathtaking architecture. This pagoda is twice the size of the former largest hollow stone monument in the world, the Gol Gumbaz Dome in Bijapur, India. The Pagoda complex is a symbol of gratitude to Gautama Buddha for dispensing universal teaching to the eradication of suffering.

  • 05Essel World And Water Kingdom

    Gear up for one of Asia’s largest amusement parks! Built to replicate the Disney Land model, Essel World in Mumbai makes for an amazingly fun packed day. It’s not really a place for the adventure and speed phobic individual, but then again, this amusement park has all kinds of rides and activities to suit all age groups.

    The general upkeep of the amusement park is at par with international standards, and tourists love the energy here. Water Kingdom is yet another theme park situated right beside Essel World. Tourists may obtain a combined day pass for both Essel World and Water Kingdom, though we suggest visiting these places on two different days to do justice to all the rides and attractions.

    Water Kingdom is an aqua lover’s dream come true with state of the art water rides, slides and the enormous wave pool! Essel World and Water Kingdom are both accessible via road although the best way to get there is to hop onto a ferry boat at Gorai.
