We had a wonderful trip to Elephanta cave with guides Manoj and Riya. Both of them full of knowledge and stories about Mumbai, the island, the caves and Shiva. We really enjoyed it!





Elephanta-hulerne ligger i det vestlige Indien på Elephanta-øen (også kaldet øen Gharapuri), som fremhæver to bakker isoleret af en tæt dal. Den lille ø er fyldt med forskellige gamle arkæologiske tilbageværende dele, der er de eneste erklæringer om dens rige sociale fortid. Disse arkæologiske tilbageværende dele afslører bevis for besættelse fra så snart det andet århundrede f.Kr. De stenhuggede Elephanta-huler blev bygget omkring midten af femte til sjette hundrede år e.Kr. Den mest betydningsfulde blandt hulerne er den uforlignelige Cave 1, som anslår 39 meter fra den forreste adgang til bagsiden. I plan ligner denne hule i den vestlige skråning intenst Dumar Lena-hulen ved Ellora i Indien. Grottens hoveddel, med spærring af verandaerne på de tre åbne sider og den bagerste passage, er 27 m kvadratisk og fastholdes af linjer med hver seks sektioner. Elephanta-hulerne er et UNESCOs verdensarvssted.
Elephanta Caves er et UNESCOs verdensarvsliste og en samling af huletempler overvejende dedikeret til den hinduistiske gud Shiva. De er beliggende på Elephanta Island eller Gharapuri (bogstaveligt talt "hulenes by") i Mumbai Havn, 10 kilometer (6,2 mi) øst for byen Mumbai i den indiske delstat Mahārāshtra. Øen, der ligger offshore ca. 2 km vest for Jawaharlal Nehru Havn, består af fem hinduistiske huler og et par buddhistiske stuphauger, der dateres tilbage til det 2. århundrede fvt., Samt en lille gruppe af to buddhistiske huler med vandtanke.
Afhentning i lufthavnen medfører yderligere 700 Rs som parkeringsafgifter for køretøjer.

Everything about this tour was amazing. I am a female solo traveler. Met Riya at the meeting point. She is super nice and very knowledgeable. We had a blast together in the boat. When I arrived to the island we met with the tour guide Manoj and he took me through the steps all the way to the caves. He made sure that I was very well and hydrated throughout the steps. Then he made a masterclass of history through the caves and he took professional pictures. I highly recommend this tour!!!!

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Elephanta Caves with our guide, Rajar! He was very knowledgeable and professional, and his explanations made the visit even more interesting. As a local, he knew the area well and seemed to know everyone along the way, which helped our tour run smoothly and gave it a personal touch. We highly recommend Rajar to anyone planning a visit. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

We had an amazing experience visiting the Elephanta Caves, and Rajat made the entire day exceptional. What really set this tour apart was that Rajat is actually from the island, so he had a level of local knowledge and connection that you simply would not get from a typical guide. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless. Rajat knew many of the people working on the island, which made the entire experience feel almost VIP. He seemed to know exactly where to go, who to speak with, and how to keep everything moving smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. He was also an excellent guide in the caves themselves. His explanations were clear, detailed, and easy to follow, and he did a great job explaining the history, symbolism, carvings, and cultural significance of what we were seeing. He answered all of our questions and clearly knew the site far beyond just a memorized tour script. What we appreciated most was that Rajat was personable, professional, and genuinely proud of the island and its history. That made the experience feel much more authentic and personal. This ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Mumbai. If you are planning to visit the Elephanta Caves, I would highly recommend this tour, and especially Rajat as your guide. Having someone who grew up on the island completely changes the experience.
Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Rajat made your visit to the Elephanta Caves so special. His local knowledge, connection to the island, and passion for its history truly make the experience unique. We’re delighted that you enjoyed his explanations and personal approach. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again in Mumbai!
