The Arch on Mumbai Harbour The Gateway of India is a triumphal basalt arch on the Mumbai waterfront at Apollo Bunder, overlooking the Arabian Sea, built to commemorate the 1911 visit of King George V and Queen Mary. Designed by the architect George Wittet in the Indo-Saracenic style and completed in 1924, its central dome rises about 26 metres.

For the Gateway of India specifically, hours: open 24 hours (public monument). We sequence the visit for the prime hour and avoid the worst conditions August brings to Mumbai.
Around the monument visit, the August Mumbai circuit is built to the season, pacing, stays, dining, and contingency tuned to the conditions rather than fought against.
