Narali Poornima walk at Worli Koliwada - Joined a guided walk through Mumbai's Worli Koliwada (fishing village) with the charming Nasreen on the occasion of Narali Poornima. This is a major festival for the Kolis, the region’s traditional fishing community and also the original inhabitants of the collection of islands which make up the great city of Bombay or Mumbai. It wasn't my first time in the village but Nasreen had many fascinating stories that I had not heard before, and had laid on a very special musical performance by Chintamani, the famous Koli rocker/pop star and YouTube sensation. Nasreen also walked us through some of the village's side lanes and alleys which I would never have been able to navigate without help. All in all, a very pleasant afternoon with some new stories, a new angle on the place, and lots of great pictures, especially of the festivities.

See Old India in the Heart of Mumbai - This is a must do tour while in Mumbai. It gives you a chance to see what old India life is like. The villagers were extremely friendly. We saw a parade of women in beautiful cloths. We saw fishermen emptying nets of fish and repairing them. We saw the markets, homes and religous shrines. The views of Mumbai from Worli are breathtaking.

10/10 TOUR OF KOLI VILLAGE! - Our tour of the Koli villages was so well-done, and I took away so much from our exploration of the space! Our tour guide, Adi, was an absolute joy to listen to and made the experience truly inspiring. I learned so much and saw many, many beautiful sights and was introduced to some great individuals along the way. I would highly, highly recommend this tour, and I would definitely do it again!
