Description

Discover a different side of Mumbai on a full-day experience combining ancient caves, green spaces, Buddhist architecture, and a beach sunset. Meet your guide outside Regal Cinema before travelling to Sanjay Gandhi National Park, one of Mumbai's largest protected green areas. Leave the busy city behind as you enter the park and make your way towards the historic Kanheri Caves using the park vehicle. At Kanheri, explore the network of rock-cut caves and surrounding pathways. Carved into the basalt rock of the hills, the caves offer a glimpse into Mumbai's ancient Buddhist heritage and the way the site was once used by monks and travellers. Continue to the Global Vipassana Pagoda and take some time to see its distinctive architecture and peaceful surroundings. The experience then moves towards Gorai, where you'll take a boat ride before spending time at Gorai Beach. As the day comes to an end, relax by the coast and enjoy the sunset. After the sunset experience, return with your guide to Regal Cinema, where the tour ends. This experience brings together Mumbai's natural surroundings, ancient heritage, Buddhist landmarks, and coastline in one day.
