Travel Itinerary
Start Point - ⛪️ St. Andrew’s Church
Step into the soul of old Bandra at St. Andrew’s Church, one of Mumbai’s oldest and most beautiful churches, built in 1575 by Portuguese Jesuits. With its stunning stained glass, ancient baptismal font, and peaceful sea-facing cemetery, this church tells quiet tales of colonial Bombay, local legends, and centuries of devotion.
Stop 2 - 🎣 Chimbai Village
Just a few steps from the church, and suddenly you’re in another world. Chimbai is Bandra’s original fishing village, where time seems to stand still. Wander past drying nets, colorful boats, and homes painted in bright pastels. This Koli settlement still holds the salty charm of old Bombay, echoing with tales of fisherfolk, folklore, and sea spirits.
Stop 3 - 🏃♂️ Joggers Park – Where Bollywood Runs
A green oasis by the sea, Joggers Park is where Bandra’s fitness meets fame. Built on reclaimed land, this local landmark has seen morning walkers, movie stars, and generations of gossip. It’s more than just a jogging track — it’s a slice of Bandra’s everyday life with sea views to match.
Stop 4 - 🌴 Carter Road – The Seaside Stroll
After the tight lanes of Chimbai, Carter Road opens up like a breath of fresh, salty air. A popular promenade lined with swaying palms, breezy cafés, and Bollywood joggers, it’s where Bandra comes to chill. But beneath the glam lies a story of reclaimed land, sea-facing bungalows, and a neighborhood that reinvented itself with every tide.
Stop 5 - 🌸 Sherly Rajan Road – Vintage Lanes with Bollywood Whispers
Wander down Sherly Rajan Road, where colorful cottages, bougainvillea-lined walls, and quiet charm transport you to old-world Bandra. This sleepy stretch has seen film shoots, Sunday strolls, and generations of Bandra’s East Indian families — it’s the kind of place where every corner feels like a story waiting to be told.
Stop 6 - ⛪ St. Anne’s Church – A Quiet Corner of Faith
Tucked just off the bustle of Pali Hill, St. Anne’s Church has quietly served the Bandra community since 1912. With its charming red roof and peaceful grounds, this hidden gem is where generations have come to reflect, celebrate, and find solace — far from the noise, yet right in the heart of Bandra.
Stop 7 - 🌿 Pali Village – Where the Old Meets the Oh-So-Cool
Tucked between trendy cafés and quiet bungalows, Pali Village is where Bandra’s past still lingers. This once-sleepy East Indian hamlet blends heritage homes, winding lanes, and banyan trees with a splash of modern flair. It’s a place where time slows down — until you hear the buzz of a nearby espresso machine.
Stop 8 - 🚂 Bandra Station – Gateway to the Suburbs, Steeped in History
One of Mumbai’s oldest and most charming railway stations, Bandra Station is where red-brick Gothic architecture meets the daily rhythm of the city. As the walk ends, you’ll step into the hum of local life, where thousands pass each day — unknowingly brushing past a piece of colonial history.
