Girgaum Chowpatty – Why and how this one gets missed is the question. This beach is not only cleaner than the other ones in Mumbai but if you are game to go early in the morning, its view is stunning as well! Kanheri Caves - They are located within the Sanjay Gandhi National Park premises, you will find Kanheri caves to be unadorned and therefore, ideal for a romantic photo shoot without many people to disturb you. Phool Gali, Matunga – Full of blooms and colours – what else do you need as a backdrop! Do note that it’s quite crowded through the day so opt for an early morning shoot. Imagica, Khopoli – This one is a little off from Mumbai but if you are looking at a fun and crazy themed photoshoot, what better than a theme-park?!
