Elephanta Caves Tour

We'll meet at 10:30 am in front of the PizzaExpress restaurant. From there, we'll head to the Gateway of India, where we'll board a ferry that will take us to the Elephanta Caves, an architectural and artistic marvel.

Upon arrival at this World Heritage Site, we'll explore the vast caverns, starting with the galleries of the Shiva Cave, which feature several stone carvings representing important moments in the life of the Hindu god.

Throughout the tour, we'll share interesting facts about the caves, including their believed construction period between 810 and 1260 and the damage some statues suffered in the 16th century due to being used for target practice.

The exploration will continue as we visit various sanctuaries and carved passageways, culminating at the main grotto to admire the great sculpture of Trimurti, dedicated to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

After this insight into Hindu history and culture, we'll take the ferry back and conclude the tour at the Gateway of India four to five hours after our departure.
