Mumbai is the most cosmopolitan city in India and ever since the British arrived and set up here, it has been the gateway from the west to India. Add to this the south, the beach of Goa and Kovalem, and then the coastal plains of the east and you have a fascinating journey. But the best is yet to come, the tribal lands of Orissa and the pulsing chaos of Calcutta.
