Ved ankomsten til øen, vil du tage et tog, som, vil vise sig at være en sjov og mærkelig måde at rejse, efter at du vil fortsætte til Elephanta Caves. De berømte huler af Elephanta, udpeget som en UNESCO World Heritage Site i 1987 for at bevare kunstværket. Elephanta Caves er klippede templer / statuer af Lord Shiva, Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh fra tilbage til det 5. århundrede. Elephanta Island blev opkaldt efter portugiserne, efter at statuen af en elefant blev set i nærheden af landingsområdet på øen.Elephanta viser legender om Lord Shiva udskåret i klippehule templer. Grottekomplekset er en samling af helligdomme, gårde, indre celler, store saler og portiker arrangeret i den storslåede symmetri af indisk stenskåret arkitektur, og fyldt med udsøgte stenskulpturer af hinduistiske guder og gudinder. Tempelkomplekset siges også at være Lord Shivas bolig. Derefter kommer du ombord på færgen igen for at gå tilbage til Mumbai, hvor din Dharavi slum tur begynder.
Mere end halvdelen af Mumbai-borgerne må bo i slumområder for at overleve i den dyre mega-by. "Dharavi" er blevet et udvalgt sted for sådanne beboere, og det er vært for en voksende befolkning på mindst en halv million. Mange mener, at turnéer til "Dharavi" bliver berømte på grund af succesen med den Oscar-vindende film "Slumdog Millionaire". Vores lokale slumguide vil tage dig gennem slumens kommercielle område, hvor mange småskalige hytteenheder / genbrugsenheder opererer. Især skrot / industrielt affald genbrug er en stor virksomhed i Dharavi og lokalbefolkningen scavenge materialer fra hele byen. Kasserede materialer bringes op i de små værksteder til rengøring, forarbejdning og genanvendelse af dem, for eksempel fra gamle aluminiumbønner til plaststole.

Kanheri caves are beautifully carved Buddhist Caves in the midst of the city and Surrounded by vast greenery too. Another part of the tour is world famous Elephanta caves which need no second mention. Simply mind-blowing Hindu caves of Elephanta are an architectural and visual delight too.

Excellent tour of the Kanheri Caves. Our guide was terrific and made all the difference in visiting this amazing site. The Kanheri Caves along with the mindboggling Elephanta caves are a must see in any visit to Mumbai.

After the initial coordination snags were sorted, I had a very positive experience. My guide and driver were able to give me a comprehensive tour despite time constraints (I had a flight to catch). The sites are interesting and beautiful - definitely worth the visit.

Dear Guest Many thanks for the kind words of appreciation and time taken to post the review. We are glad that we were able to match your expectations. Best regards Jai Singh
The weather on our day made getting back and forth from Elephant Caves a much longer trip than usual. They were great to see and our guide was excellent! Unfortunately we missed the Kanheri caves and market, but did enjoy seeing the park by Kanheri caves and hearing about the city and the people from our guide.
Dear Sir Many thanks for your kind review. And yes the monsoon rains are a big trouble while visiting Mumbai during the monsoon. But our able guide and driver beat the odds and try to explore as much as possible. We are happy that we were able to match your expectations Best regards Jai Singh Discover activities

Hi Vijaya many thanks for the kind feedback and appreciation best regards- Jai
Elephant caves are a mix of buddhist and jain caves having mind-boggling architecture. It was amazing to visit rustic markets of Mumbai and expertise of local traders
Dear Sir Thanks for sharing such a detailed account of travel, such valuable memoirs definitely help other travellers
We paid over 170$ for 4 ppl. The price did not cover our hotel pickup even though we stayed in Hilton Mumbai International airport hotel. They charged us 1000Rs for pickup and dropoff from hotel to Gateway. The price did not cover the cost of the boat ride nor the elephant caves entrance fees nor did it cover the guide at the caves. We did not the snacks nor were received by a agent. Our driver for the hotel pickup did not speak English. Not sure where our 170$ went.
Dear Sir, our tour is genuine but your review seems to be totally biased and at the behest of an competitor. You seems to have booked our tour without reading it at all. Hope you can converse in English. Pick up is offered from colaba and south Mumbai hotels, you were putting up in an airport hotel. We managed to provide you comfortable pickup drop at an meager supplement. Then you were taken to elephanta caves, product mentions that entry is on your own . After this you were taken to Crawford market and dhobi ghat which was indeed added as an bonus to your trip. You were in direct touch with me over WhatsApp and never shared anything with me and now writing all the stuff here as if you were left in the lurch. Sometimes it is very hard to understand few customers who simply try to tarnish our image for no reason might be out of a professional rivalry OR at the behest of competitors
