Description

Catch the ferry from the Gateway of India and feel the gentle sea breeze as you sail toward Elephanta Island, watching Mumbai’s skyline fade into the horizon. Step onto the island and enter the ancient rock-cut Elephanta Caves, where centuries-old sculptures of Lord Shiva await. Stand before the Trimurti, the magnificent three-headed Shiva, and explore panels depicting Nataraja, Ardhanarishvara & the scenes from Hindu mythology, each telling a story carved in stone. Returning to Mumbai, arrive at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), a bustling railway hub and an architectural masterpiece. Admire its soaring domes, turrets, and intricate stonework that blend Victorian Gothic grandeur with Indian motifs. Feel the pulse of the city as trains rush by, bringing life to this historic monument. Next, stroll through the Victorian Gothic and Art Deco ensembles around Oval Maidan. On one side, the majestic Gothic structures like the Rajabai Clock Tower and the University of Mumbai showcase colonial elegance; on the other, the colorful Art Deco residences highlight the city’s modernist flair. As you walk among these architectural treasures, uncover stories of Mumbai’s evolution, where history, culture, and design blends. End your journey inspired by the timeless heritage of Mumbai, from sacred caves to iconic city landmarks—a full day of discovery, artistry, and history that leaves you with memories to treasure.
