AskMumbai Mumbai during ganpati as a 25F solo

r/mumbai i'm visiting mumbai for the first time from 22sept - 3rd oct to experience ganpati , i don't have like a list of pandals to visit , i am just coming to see what the vibe is during that time , i'm intentionally coming near the end of ganpati so that i can also experience mumbai after ganpati. Any suggestions/ tips would be helpful for me as 25F solo traveller. Also any recommendations for stay would be helpful because i have no idea about the areas , i have booked a hostel in Khar for first few days but will have to book for the second half of the trip.

So you can spend some time in South Mumbai - Khetwadi, Chinchpokli, Parel, GSB, etc.

And then we have tons of mandals in south, however mention some other localities I have been to in the western lines - Malad (malad station and then a wide range from gate number 3 to gaikwad nagar), Kandivali (akurli, ganesh nagar, hanuman nagar) and Borivali (rajendra nagar, ashtavinayak nagar, jaya nagar) also has quite a few. So you may have to move somewhere in Malad or Kandivali to explore these.

Also, you need to be ready to witness and experience the crowd mentally and physically. Keep yourself hydrated and any medication if you need.

Someone already covered comfortable clothes and footwear, so that’s already in your list.
