Plan the trip
Everything else, in four tabs.
Land at T2
File India’s e-Arrival Card in the 72 hours before you land. Devcon’s welcome booth is right after baggage claim.
Get connected
Install your eSIM before you fly. A SIM from the airport counter can take 24 to 72 hours to switch on.

T2 to BKC in about 15 minutes for ₹10–70, carry-on only. A cab is 15–25 minutes and ₹400–600 outside rush hour.

Three budgets, taxes included.
What a Devcon week in Mumbai costs at three budgets: rooms, rides, food and the taxes that apply to each.
UPI works for visitors
UPI One World gives foreign visitors a prepaid UPI wallet loaded at the airport or a bank branch. Autos, cafés and street food all take it; cash is for tips.
Taxes are in every price here
Indian hotel GST is 5% on rooms up to ₹7,500 a night and 18% above that. Every price on this page includes it, for 2–7 Nov, 2 adults in one room.
Morning traffic flows into BKC, evening out
From 9 to 11 am every road into BKC crawls at about 17 km/h. From 6 to 9 pm it reverses. Stay outside BKC and you ride against the flow only if you leave in the morning or arrive in the evening.
Line 3 is the only rail that matters
Airport T2 to BKC in about 15 minutes for ₹10–70. First train 05:55, last 22:30. There is no metro on the west side, so Bandra West and Juhu are autos and cabs.
File the e-Arrival Card
India's e-Arrival Card is mandatory and filed online in the 72 hours before you land. Have the confirmation ready at immigration.
November is dry and warm
Expect 24–33 °C, low humidity by Mumbai standards and no rain. Air quality dips after Diwali fireworks; a mask helps on the Monday.
Autos are not allowed in South Mumbai
Auto-rickshaws run north of Bandra and Sion only. South of that it is black-and-yellow taxis or app cabs.

Questions
Before youbook.
Is this an official Devcon page? No. Nowah is an independent travel app and is not affiliated with Devcon or the Ethereum Foundation. Dates and venue come from devcon.org; everything else here is Nowah's own research, checked in October 2026.
How current are the prices?
Prices are in US dollars, quoted for the Indian market with taxes included, and refreshed every night for 2–7 November, two adults in one room; each card says when it was last checked. The live rate is confirmed in the app before you pay.
Which hotels can I really walk from?
Two: Trident Bandra Kurla and Sofitel Mumbai BKC are five to eight minutes on foot. Bloom, ibis and Lemon Tree in Kalina are a ten to twenty minute walk in the heat. Everything else is a ride or Metro Line 3.
What taxes are included?
Indian hotel GST is 5% on rooms up to ₹7,500 a night and 18% above that. Every price on this page includes it. Some hotels add a service charge at check-out; the app shows it when the hotel declares it.
Do I need a visa for India?
Most passports need an e-Visa, applied for online at least four days before you fly, and everyone files India's e-Arrival Card in the 72 hours before landing. Nowah's visa checklist covers your passport.
Should I stay on for Diwali?
Devcon ends on Friday 6 November and Diwali is Sunday the 8th. Marine Drive and Colaba light up, markets are packed and most offices are shut. Hotel rates step up from Friday, so extend your booking now rather than at check-out.
The whole Devcon trip
Flights, stay, eSIM,one conversation.
Tell Nowah where you fly from and what you will spend. It finds the flight into Mumbai, a stay ranked by commute, an eSIM that works on landing and your visa checklist.
