Google Maps, my friend. Seriously. Satellite view is your best bet. Those narrow lanes... you won't believe it. Pre-download the map area offline too, your data might be spotty. Plan your route meticulously before you even leave your hotel. Maybe even walk it a bit beforehand if you can. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later. Otherwise, you'll be spending more time navigating than working.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar is indeed a suburb of Mumbai, and yeah, navigating those smaller lanes can be a bit of a maze! Google Maps can be frustrating there, it often misses smaller streets. Honestly, the best way to get around is using local transport – the BEST buses are surprisingly efficient and cheap, plus you get a real feel for the area. Don't be afraid to ask locals for directions; most people are super friendly and helpful. Also, try to remember landmarks – a particular shop, a brightly coloured building, whatever helps you retrace your steps if needed. And regarding that street food… you're in for a treat! Just be sure to stick to places that look busy – that's usually a good sign of quality and freshness. Have fun!
