How do I get from Andheri Railway Station to the Ion Digital Zone in Powai?
Are there any direct rickshaws or taxis available that do the same route . I have an exam next week at IDZ Powai. I will be staying in borivali at a friend's flat. Are there any alternate ways to… more
The easiest way from Andheri station to Ion Digital Zone is probably the metro. Take the Western Line to Ghatkopar, then switch to the Line 1 metro towards Versova. Get off at the Powai station; it's a pretty short ride from there to IDZ. Direct taxis/rickshaws might be available, but it's a longer, potentially more expensive, and less reliable option given the traffic. Since you're staying in Borivali, consider taking the Western Line to Andheri first, then the metro. That'll be the most efficient route.
Gurdwara Experience?
So I'm heading to Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar next week. I've heard amazing things about the gurdwaras there, the food, the atmosphere... But I'm a little nervous about navigating the area. Any tips on… more
Don't worry too much! Mumbai's surprisingly easy to navigate, even if you don't speak Hindi or Marathi. Most people in touristy areas, and especially around prominent gurdwaras, will speak some English. Use ride-hailing apps like Ola or Uber – they're cheap and reliable. Just make sure you have data on your phone or get a local SIM. Google Maps works pretty well too, but double check the route before you start. For smaller gurdwaras, showing the address in English on your phone usually works. People are incredibly helpful. Pointing at the address on your phone and smiling goes a long way. If all else fails, ask at a larger, more central gurdwara – someone there will likely be able to direct you or even offer to call a cab for you. Enjoy the experience! The food alone is worth the trip.
That's really helpful, thanks! Ola and Uber are good to know – I'll definitely download those before I go. I was a little worried about the language barrier, but it sounds like it shouldn't be a major issue. The food being amazing is a huge plus! I'm really looking forward to it now.
