Be a Slumdog in Mumbai

An early Oscar favourite, Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire is out this Friday.

Telling the story of a slum-dweller’s appearance on India’s ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’, the film is a riot of colour, capers and crazy characters, and was shot on location in the vibrant streets of Mumbai.

Travel to the city with Real Holidays and take a slum tour, plus see hectic bazaars, pretty waterfront scenes, Bollywood studios and elegant Victorian architecture in a city recovering impressively from its recent terrorist tragedies. Stay at the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers, with onyx columns, hand-woven silk carpets and crystal chandeliers.

Prices from £150 pp per night (two sharing) including transfers. Flights can be arranged. Call Real Holidays on 020 7359 3938 (www.indiaportfolio.co.uk).
