Mumbai Tour Packages from Hyderabad: 3-Day Plan, Costs & Family Guide

Mumbai Tour Packages from Hyderabad: 3-Day Plan, Costs & Family Guide

Mumbai is one of the easiest weekend-plus trips from Hyderabad. The flight is about an hour and a half to two hours, and a 2 nights / 3 days plan covers the Gateway of India, Elephanta Caves, Marine Drive, Juhu Beach, Haji Ali Dargah and a drive through Bollywood's neighbourhoods. The harder part is picking a Mumbai tour package that fits your days, because Mumbai sights are spread across a long, traffic-heavy city.

This guide explains how Leisure Trips' Mumbai City Highlights Tour works day by day, what it includes and leaves out, how to reach Mumbai from Hyderabad, and what to plan around: Elephanta's Monday closure, monsoon ferries and Mumbai traffic. It also covers a Mumbai tour package for family travel and how to add other parts of Maharashtra.

What the Mumbai City Highlights Tour Includes

It is a land-only 3-day city tour with hotel, breakfast, a sedan and airport or railway pickup and drop. Flights, other meals, tickets, boating, a guide and GST are extra.

Included:

• 2 nights' accommodation in Mumbai
• 2 breakfasts
• All sightseeing as per the itinerary
• All tours and transfers in a sedan for 3 days
• Pickup and drop from Mumbai airport or railway station

Not included:

• Flight or train tickets
• Any other extra meals
• Monument and entry tickets, and boating
• Tour guide or manager
• 5% GST, listed as extra and mandatory
• Services not mentioned in the inclusions

The boating line matters on Day 1, since the Elephanta Caves visit needs a ferry from the Gateway of India. Ask the team for a current estimate of ferry and entry costs before you travel.

Day-by-Day Itinerary with Practical Notes

Day 1: Arrival and South Mumbai

After pickup and hotel check-in, the package plan covers Elephanta Caves (by ferry from the Gateway of India), the Gateway of India, a drive past Mumbai University, the World Trade Centre and Nariman Point, then Taraporewala Aquarium, the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, Jahangir Art Gallery, Marine Drive, Hanging Gardens and the Nehru Science Centre and Planetarium.

That is a lot for one day. Sightseeing is as per time available, so plan around these points:

• Elephanta is closed on Mondays. If your Day 1 is a Monday, ask for the days to be swapped.
• The ferry takes about an hour each way. The first boats from the Gateway of India usually leave around 9 AM, and last departures are in the afternoon. A late-morning arrival may not leave time for Elephanta, so book an early flight or ask the team how they would reorder the day.
• Monsoon ferries are often suspended. June to September ferries can stop for rough seas, so Elephanta may not be possible.
• Some South Mumbai stops may be drive-pasts if time or traffic runs short.

Day 2: Mumbai City Tour

After breakfast, the day starts with Sanjay Gandhi National Park, which the package describes as one of the world's largest protected urban forests. It continues with a drive through Mumbai's film industry area, passing the bungalows of well-known Bollywood celebrities, subject to access and traffic. The rest of the day is for exploring the city before the hotel.

This is a drive-by experience, not a studio visit. If you want a Film City tour, ask what can be arranged.

Day 3: Cultural and Modern Landmarks, Departure

After check-out, the plan covers Haji Ali Dargah on an islet in the Arabian Sea, a drive across the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, ISKCON Temple, Aarey Milk Colony, Juhu Beach, and drives past Mahalaxmi Race Course and Shivaji Park. If time permits, Mini Kashmir within Aarey Colony and an exterior view of Film City are added. You are then dropped at your chosen location in Mumbai.

• Haji Ali is reached by a causeway that can be affected at high tide. Ask about timing.
• Departure day: If you fly home in the evening, confirm the drop timing so the drive to the airport is not rushed.

How to Reach Mumbai from Hyderabad

Short answer: Fly. Direct flights take roughly 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours, versus 13 to 14.5 hours by train.

• By air: Many direct flights run between Hyderabad and Mumbai through the day, including early-morning and late-evening options. A third-party route planner lists fares from about ₹4,000 one way, but prices vary by date. Check current schedules.
• By train: Trains run from Hyderabad Deccan (Nampally), Secunderabad and Begumpet to Mumbai CSMT and other stations, taking about 13 to 14.5 hours. Check IRCTC for current options.
• By bus: Overnight buses take about 13 to 18 hours.
• By road: About 740 km, with estimates of 10 to 13 hours depending on route and traffic.

The package offers pickup and drop at Mumbai airport or railway station, so tell the team where and when you arrive. Since Day 1 is full, an early arrival fits the plan better than a late one.

Mumbai Tour Package Cost: What to Budget

Short answer: Your budget is the package price on the page, plus 5% GST, plus transport from Hyderabad, plus meals, tickets and boating.

Package price × travellers + 5% GST + flights or train + lunches and dinners + Elephanta ferry and entry tickets + guide (if you want one) + shopping and a buffer

Check the current price on the Mumbai City Highlights Tour page. We do not quote a number here because package prices and flight fares change. Two things to watch: only breakfast is included, and a guide is not part of the package, so ask what you would pay if you want one at Elephanta or the museums.

Mumbai Tour Package for Family

The package describes itself as suited to families, couples and first-time visitors. For a family trip, these details matter more than the headline price:

• Child policy: Per the package page, a child aged 11 or above counts as an adult, and a child under 5 is complimentary. Ask how children between 5 and 10 are priced.
• Vehicle: The package uses a sedan for 3 days. For four people with luggage, ask whether a larger vehicle is available and what it costs.
• Day 1 pace: Day 1 is packed. With young children or older relatives, ask to trim stops and keep the Aquarium, Marine Drive and Planetarium for the end if energy is low.
• Elephanta: It involves a ferry ride and steps up to the caves. Check this with elders, and ask about alternatives if anyone cannot manage it.
• Kid-friendly stops in the plan: Taraporewala Aquarium, Nehru Science Centre and Planetarium, Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Juhu Beach.
• Meals: Only breakfast is included, so plan family lunches and dinners.

Best Time to Visit Mumbai

Short answer: November to February is generally the most comfortable window for sightseeing. The monsoon, roughly June to September, brings heavy rain and can disrupt Elephanta ferries.

• November to February: Pleasant for city sightseeing and ferry rides. Book early.
• March to May: Hot and humid. Plan outdoor stops for mornings and evenings.
• June to September: Heavy rain, traffic delays and suspended ferries. Expect changes to the plan.

Check weather before you travel and ask how the team would reorder the days if Elephanta is not possible.

Planning Maharashtra Tour Packages Beyond Mumbai

The Mumbai City Highlights Tour covers Mumbai city only. If you want a wider Maharashtra trip package, you can ask for a customised quote that adds other destinations. Common add-ons travellers consider:

• Lonavala: A hill-station break about 84 km from Mumbai, roughly 1 hour 35 minutes by road.
• Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar: Hill stations around 240 km from Mumbai, about 4 hours.
• Shirdi: About 240 km from Mumbai, roughly 4 hours 15 minutes by road.
• Ajanta and Ellora caves: UNESCO World Heritage cave complexes near Aurangabad (now Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), usually planned as a separate multi-day extension.

Distances are approximate road estimates from route sites. Adding any of these needs extra nights and a longer plan, so share your dates and interests for a customised itinerary.

Booking Terms to Know Before You Pay

• Payment: 50% advance to confirm and the 50% balance 15 days before travel.

Tips for a Smooth Mumbai Trip

• Pick flights that land early, since Day 1 is full.
• Check that Day 1 is not a Monday, or ask to swap the days.
• Carry cash for small expenses and ferry tickets, and keep ID ready.
• Wear comfortable shoes for the caves, museums and walks.
• Allow extra time for traffic on every transfer.
• Keep a rain layer if you travel in the monsoon.
• Dress modestly at Haji Ali and ISKCON.
