Discover Buddhist sculptures, carvings, and paintings dating back over 2000 years. This is an unmissable adventure for anyone spending a few days in Mumbai.
Kanheri Caves Half-Day Trip
Early in the morning, an expert guide will pick you up from your hotel before driving to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, where the Buddhist caves of Kanheri are located. This area is an oasis of lush, green vegetation.
We drive deeper into the forest until reaching the Kanheri caves, a network of more than 100 caves with wall paintings, engravings, and Buddhist sculptures that were made from the 1st century B.C. to the 10th century A.D.
This site was used by Buddhist monks for meditation and as places of worship, including monasteries, meeting rooms, shrines, and study rooms. Our guide will provide information about their history and highlight some of the most striking statues.
During the tour, you can enjoy a typical snack from the region. The trip concludes with views over the Sanjay Gandhi National Park from a notable vantage point, ideal for photographs.
