Description

Join a guided tour from Mumbai to the Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trip starts at the Gateway of India, where you take ferry ride across the Arabian Sea with beautiful views of the city’s coastline. On reaching Elephanta Island, you can either walk from the jetty or ride a small toy train. Explore the ancient rock-cut caves, famous for their detailed carvings and sculptures. The main highlight is Cave 1, which houses the majestic Trimurti sculpture – a 20-foot-tall, three-faced figure of Lord Bhudha. You can also see smaller caves with unique carvings, courtyards, and pillars that showcase the skill of early craftsmen. After exploring the caves, stroll around the island, visit the museum for more history, or simply relax and enjoy the views. For those who love adventure, a short hike up to Cannon Hill offers breathtaking views of Mumbai’s harbor. The tour ends with a ferry ride back to the Gateway of India, and a return transfer to your hotel.
