Kanheri Caves Half Day Tour
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. 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 dating from the 1st century B.C. to the 10th century A.D.
This site was used by Buddhist monks for meditation and as a place of worship, functioning as monasteries, meeting rooms, shrines, and study rooms. Our guide will provide insights into their history and highlight some of the most notable statues.
