Standing tall on the waterfront of South Mumbai, the Gateway of India is an architectural masterpiece built in 1924 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. Crafted in Indo-Saracenic style with intricate basalt stonework, it once served as the ceremonial entrance to India for British dignitaries. Today, it remains Mumbai’s most iconic landmark -a symbol of the city’s colonial past and cosmopolitan spirit.

We had a wonderful tour with Avinash as our guide. As a life long resident of the island, he brought great insight into the Elephanta Caves. These ancient caves are a sight to behold. Be sure to add the caves to your stay in Mumbai and seek out Avinash as your guide…he will treat you well and make your experience a memorable one.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had a memorable experience exploring the Elephanta Caves with Avinash.
