About Navi Mumbai
Where to stay in Navi Mumbai
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms here answer to the office parks and to the crossing into Mumbai, since Navi Mumbai was laid out as a satellite township and its IT and ITES employers give most visitors their reason to come. Beds are a commuter proposition. You would take one for a meeting on the mainland or for a base inside the Mumbai Metropolitan Region that stops short of Salsette Island. Thāne and Raigad divide the ground between them, so an address here belongs to one district or the other.
About Navi Mumbai
What are the main landmarks in Navi Mumbai?
Navi Mumbai keeps no listed monument of its own, and the pull across the water is the older city, so what stands out on this side is the planned fabric itself and the IT and ITES employers that filled it. Mumbai sits across on Salsette Island. The Konkan mainland of Maharashtra reads as a workplace, and the planned layout of Navi Mumbai is the thing a visitor actually notices.
What is the history of Navi Mumbai?
New Bombay came first as a name. The township was drawn up in the early nineteen-seventies to take pressure off the core city across the water, an act of planning rather than of slow growth. The name Navi Mumbai replaced New Bombay in the record.
Success came unevenly. IT and ITES employers moving onto the mainland did more for the plan than its first years did, and the built-up area is split between the Thāne and Raigad districts.
Where is Navi Mumbai?
Navi Mumbai lies on the mainland of the Konkan division in India, opposite Salsette Island, and is split between the Thāne and Raigad districts.
