Elephanta Caves

Take a tour to this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mumbai and get wonderstruck by the massive rock-cut caves that date back to several centuries. It has five caves dedicated to Hindu god Shiva and two caves depicting Buddhist architectures. To reach this area in Mumbai, you need to take a one-hour ferry ride from the Gateway of India. Surprisingly, the ferry ride is one of the best things to do in Mumbai as you get to enjoy the scenic beauty of the city. Those who lack the spirit of a trekker can hop on the toy train that will take you on a tour of the caves right from the entry point. Meanwhile, the restaurant and canteen run by MTDC can take care of your hunger pangs. If you are planning a one-day tour to the Elephanta Caves, this blog will give you more details.
