Overview

Deep dive into the realm of heritage -We don't want to ruin the surprise, so come on this walking tour and discover the island hidden gem.

Explore the major Shiva Cave, with its massive statues of Shiva and Hindu legends, as well as the Buddhist caves widely known as the Elephanta Caves, which are profoundly embedded among the tranquil surroundings of Elephanta Island in Mumbai Harbour in the frenetic Mumbai City. Discover UNESCO-listed caverns and rock art said to date from the 500bc, Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings and inscriptions that date between the 5th and 9th centuries and are attributed to several Hindu kingdoms. Enjoy a boat ride across Mumbai Harbour, a ride on the toy train, and a visit to the conceptually carved Cave Temples.

Take a miniature train journey to the plateau and view the complex and amazingly detailed reliefs and sculptures representing narratives of the goddess Shiva; a once-in-a-lifetime event to share with your family and friends.
