Are you in Bombay and feeling like visiting one of the most sacred temples in India? On this excursion to the Elephanta Caves, we'll uncover the secrets of this breathtaking Unesco World Heritage Site.

Elephanta Caves Tour

We'll meet at 10:30 am in front of the PizzaExpress restaurant. From there, we'll head towards the Gateway of India, where we'll hop on a ferry to the Elephanta Caves, an architectural and artistic marvel considered one of the most sacred temples in Bombay.

Upon arrival at this World Heritage Site, we'll explore the galleries of the Shiva Cave, which feature several stone carvings depicting key moments in the life of this Hindu god. The caves are believed to have been built between 810 and 1260 and suffered damage in the 16th century due to their use for target practice.

The tour will continue as we explore various sanctuaries and carved passageways. We'll reach the main grotto and admire the great sculpture of Trimurti, representing the Hindu gods: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

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