Rejseplan
Kanheri-hulerne er en gruppe huler og stenskårne monumenter skåret i en massiv basaltkrop i skovene i Sanjay Gandhi National Park, på øen Salsette i den vestlige udkanten af Mumbai, Indien. De indeholder buddhistiske skulpturer og relief carvings, malerier og indskrifter, der går fra 1. århundrede f.Kr. til 10. århundrede CE. Kanheri kommer fra sanskrit Krishnagiri, hvilket betyder sort bjerg. Webstedet er på en bakke, og er tilgængelig via stejle trin. Hulkomplekset består af et hundrede og ni huler, skåret ud fra basaltstenen og dateres fra 1. århundrede f.Kr. til 10. århundrede CE. Kanheri var blevet en vigtig buddhistisk bosættelse på Konkan kysten ved 3. århundrede CE.
Global Vipassana Pagoda er en meditationshal nær Gorai, nordvest for Mumbai, Indien. Pagoden blev indviet af Pratibha Patil, derefter præsident i Indien den 8. februar 2009. Den er bygget på doneret jord på en halvø mellem Gorai Creek og Arabian Sea. Pagoden skal tjene som et monument af fred og harmoni. Global Vipassana Pagoda er bygget ud af taknemmelighed til Sayagyi U Ba Khin (1899 - 1971), Vipassana-læreren og den første revisor-general for uafhængige Burma, der var medvirkende til Vipassana, der vendte tilbage til Indien, oprindelseslandet. Centeret for den globale Vipassana Pagoda indeholder verdens største stenkuppel bygget uden hjælpestøtter.

Sameer offered an excellent, educational tour. So thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable. A must whilst visiting Mumbai. Thanks Sameer for an excellent, well curated experience.
Sameer the tour guide was communicative before the tour and day of. Dayanand the driver showed up exactly on time. Sameer shared history of the caves and the pagoda, and paced the tour to my interest and speed. Thanks for the great experience!
Sameer was excellent! Extremely knowledgeable. Truly an educational experience. Good experience driving thru the city, ferry and Tuk Tuk ride. An all inclusive package. Thanks Sameer
We had our private tour today with Vikrant from Shreeji Tours n Travels, we were picked up from our hotel on time and taken to our first stop it was like having a teacher by our side he had great knowledge of everything he was showing us again on our second stop we finished our day understanding a lot more than when we started it was a great day and we would highly recommend the booking.
The caves were breathtaking but also a very peaceful reprieve from the city. We unknowingly visited the pagoda on a Buddhist festival. There were thousands of rural people who had travelled far to visit the Pagoda. Sameer managed to usher us through the crowds to enter the Pagoda. When we however tried to exit, we found ourselves in a mass of people crowding towards the gate to the ferry. It looked like we would be waiting for several hours. Amazingly, Sameer and a rural man spoke with the crowd encouraging them to treat us as guests and allow us to pass. All the people smiled at us and happily moved for us to exit quickly. It was an experience I will never forget. The kindness and hospitality of these people was amazing. I would highly recommend Sameer as a tour guide. He was efficient, punctual, knowledgeable, quietly spoken and very professional.
If you want to get away from the busy streets of Mumbai, this is a great trip to go for. Our guide Shivam had a lot of knowledge on the buddhist caves and took good care of us. Thank you Shivam.
Vikrant is a very nice guide 👍👍👍 We had a very good day discovering the Kanheri Caves and the Vipassana Pagode. Plus a stop in an excellent recommended restaurant well known for pav bhaji.
My wife and I had a brilliant time on this tour of the Kanheri Caves and the Pagoda! Sameer was our guide, and throughout the day gave us lots of interesting facts and insights! We started the day with a drive to the caves, and Sameer gave us some history about Mumbai and the areas we passed, and even found me somewhere to stop and get a coffee on the way! The Kanheri Caves were stunning - the views and walk through the National Park alone were incredible, with some beautiful nature and animals. The caves also felt very special, and we really enjoyed exploring the history and how these caves were once a large monastery. Sameer was an excellent guide, answering all our questions and leading us through a mediation of our own, it was all very peaceful. We then got a boat over to where the Pagoda was, got some food at the cafe there, and explored what Vipassana Buddhism meant and some of its teachings. Would recommend the trip for anyone curious to visit the caves and pagoda, I think it was a lot more interesting and straightforward with a guide - a big thanks again to Sameer for a brilliant day 😁
This excursion started out really well. We started off with the caves, and while a bit of a hike, it was a fairly easy one even for me being very out of shape. I was never rushed, and my guide made sure I was alright throughout. The spot we went to for lunch was amazing, 10/10 for sure! It was as we started the second half that things went off. As we waited for our ferry and rickshaw ride to the temple, my guide began to put his arm around my shoulders and caress my hand and leg with his other hand. As we toured the temple, he continued to try to hold my hand and stayed very close to me even as I tried to pull away. This went on as we rode back to the ferry, where he finally noticed that I was pulling away from his touches and I had to remind him that this was very much not a date and I was paying him for a tour. While he did apologize and kept his distance after that, it soured the whole experience and was very unprofessional. For this reason, I can not recommend that any woman traveling alone book this excursion.

Ravi was a great guide. He gave an un-biased perspective on how the physical monuments to Buddhism here are interconnected with all other religions. We had to rush our tour but Ravi made sure to show us the coolest caves, including many Stupas, paintings, rock cut statues and rooms.
