Elephanta Caves Kreuzfahrt Gruppentour





Beschreibung
Die Elephanta Caves Tour konzentriert sich darauf, etwas über den Hindu-Gott Lord Shiva zu erfahren. Verschiedene Statuen aus dem 4.-5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. befinden sich in den Höhlen auf der Insel Elephanta, etwa 10 km und eine Bootsstunde vom Gateway of India entfernt. Die Portugiesen nannten die Insel „Elephanta“ nach der Statue eines Elefanten in der Nähe des Landeplatzes. Die Höhlen beherbergen Felstempel aus dem 5. Jahrhundert. Elephanta Island wurde 1987 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe ernannt, um das Kunstwerk zu erhalten. Der Komplex der Elephanta-Höhlen ist eine Sammlung von Schreinen, Innenhöfen, großen Sälen und Portiken, die in der herrlichen Symmetrie der indischen Felsenarchitektur angeordnet und mit exquisiten Steinskulpturen hinduistischer Götter und Göttinnen gefüllt sind.

Chose Mumbai Moments on the back of swift message response and great conversation over the phone. Ameesh was super invested in us having a great experience, checking in prior and during our 2 days of activities, even meeting afterwards in person to wish us well and thank us personally! Our tour started immediately after airport pickup to the Gateway of India and the Elephanta Caves by our driver Lailu (honest, reliable and safe driving - salute Lailu bhai 🫡 Manoj our guide for the caves was very knowledgeable and made the tour very comfortable and informative! Take the train after the boat ride!... The 120 steps will test you! 😁 Second day we met our guide for the day, Kamlash, great knowledge of Mumbai and the slums, the Bollywood Tour was great fun - we dressed up and even took part in a Bollywood dance number - thank you Kamlash sir 👍 Recommend Mumbai Moments for a custom experience where they will actually take ownership of your time and comfort with them and guide you to the highlights of Mumbai Final day - dropped off to the airport by our driver Pappu - again very knowledgeable and safe. Mumbai Moments - They go the extra mile - booked dinner reservation through Ameesh for Bastion at the Top. Everyone that we encountered from Mumbai Moments was always respectful and courteous! Thank you all for a great Mumbai Moment! Will look at the gift and remember you all fondly. 👍🙏😊
Must see, go early to avoid heat
I cannot say enough good things about this tour! It was seriously one of the best tours I have ever been on! Amish, the owner of the company, was very kind and accommodating. He really wants people to experience Mumbai and this tour did just that! My guide for this tour was AK and he was fantastic!! He was so knowledgeable about the caves. He literally answered any possible question I had. He was also extremely kind. I went alone on this tour and both AK and Amish made me feel safe the entire time. This was honestly one of the best tours ever! I would recommend this tour and this company to anyone!!
Fantastic experience. Amish was able to organize the whole excursion at very short notice. Considering the full service (pick-up, ferry, tickets to the caves, water bottles, private guide, drop-off) I paid a very good price, definitely lower than the market prices for the same tour. The driver came to pick me up sharp at the agreed time, and we shoot off to visit the majestic caves. Avi was my guide: very knowledgeable and kind. It really felt like an exclusive experience and you are looked after the whole time. Amish is a very kind individual an I met him after the trip where he even offered me a tasty chai and gave me a wonderful gift to conclude my trip. Im looking forward to my next organized tour with Mumbai Moments and I could not recommend them enough.
What an amazing tour! The caves and carvings are awe inspiring and worth seeing on their own, but what made this special was having Avinash as our guide. As a local to the island, he is very knowledgable about the history and spiritual significance of the site, and is such a pleasure to talk to. I’m truly grateful that we got to experience this!
An amazing day out. Amish organised everything to make the day run smoothly. Pick from hotel and meeting with guide all very efficient. My guide Avi was extremely knowledgeable and gave me a wonderful tour of the caves. An excellent tour and a must do during your time in Mumbai.
