After the routine movie plan I chose Bandra east for my Sunday walk. This time I started late so that I could look around the places with out the heavy heat from sun. I started my walk at 4 o clock evening from Bandra station.
Sunday Walk through sky walk, it’s a really great experience. Mumbai have started building sky walks for pedestrians to walk to the destination from railway stations with out stugling through the traffic.
If you take an Arial view you can see this sky walk lying like gate wall of china. It’s big enough to accommodate two cars side by side. There is a direct entrance to the skywalk from railway stations. On the start I could see big pipelines which I think should be the water supply for Mumbai city. Sky walk is so clean and calm that I recommend this for joggers.

This has only few exits at selected regions. There were guards for every straight stretch of the skywalk. They didn’t allow me to stamp the scenic beauty around on my camera because of security reasons. This is the only option in Mumbai to enjoy aerial view of Mumbai.
I was watching the people around. The people who were using the skywalk were rushing for their needs. Whereas I could see youngsters enjoying kite flying as if they are flying in the sky. I could even see the kites of disappointments hanging over the branches of trees.
I kept on walking because I didn’t know where this is going to end. Walking over western express highway was one of best view in the skywalk. Instead of something flying over you, when you walk in a sky walk, you are walking above the cars.
At last I found the end point of this skywalk at Bandra kurla complex. It’s a newly developed commercial region to accommodate the increasing number of office population. This region was previously a marshy land. And this region still has a scope for development as the surrounding regions haven’t yet been acquired by someone as it is still marshy. Reliance building which are finished with high standards are found on the sides when we enter the bandra kurla complex. Whole offices of reliance will be shifted here soon.
Just opposite to this complex entrance I could see the Offices of ONGC and Indian oil. I returned the journey soon as I was late. As this whole sky walk is too lengthy for old or sick people they have provided seating on sides. I took a 5 min rest on a seat watching the sun setting on the west. When sun sets in the west Mumbai starts entertainment programs.
Note: – I have trouble with my phone. That’s the reason why I haven’t put the pictures which I have taken. I will add them soon later.




This shares information clearly and concisely… iam waiting for those photos to upload…

Skywalk is a fine idea to promote pedestrians. If the description holds true, it is a vital link in encouraging more people to park their cars at home and taking the metro by providing a safe way to walk to office etc.
