First time in Dadar? A one-day walk

Flowers at dawn, Siddhivinayak, Shivaji Park and the sea — Dadar's best in one easy day.

Dadar is where Mumbai's two railway lines meet — and where Marathi Mumbai lives. Here is an easy day, all within a few kilometres of the hotel.

Morning

• 6:00 — Walk to the Dadar Flower Market near the station. Marigold mountains, garland makers, and the city waking up.
• 7:30 — Breakfast: misal pav, sabudana vada or poha at a local Maharashtrian eatery.
• 8:30 — Taxi to Siddhivinayak Temple (weekday mornings have shorter queues).

Afternoon

• Shop the old streets around Ranade Road for Paithani and Nauvari saris, brass and sweets.
• Lunch: a Maharashtrian thali. Rest at the hotel in the heat of the day.

Evening

• Walk to Shivaji Park and watch the cricket and the evening katta.
• Continue to Chaityabhoomi and Dadar Chowpatty for sunset over the Sea Link.
• End with a vada pav — the snack that, the story goes, was born outside Dadar station.
