4 Days in BOM?

I'm only going to have around 10/11 days and plan on spending 7 of them in Andaman. With that said I'm entering through BOM and are at a loss.

How many days should I spend in BOM or do I travel away from BOM during those 4 odd days? This is my first time going to India - appreciate your thoughts...

Everyone has their favorites but I've found this useful.

There's lots to do in BOM. YMMV, but I think 4 days could be inadequate, depending on one's interests. There are a decent number of places to visit that are a few hours' drive from BOM as well.

Four days in BOM would be a waste IMO, unless you have good friends who live there and can take you around. Go somewhere else if the schedule permits; perhaps the Ajanta and Ellora Caves.
