Las cuevas de Elefanta están situadas en el oeste de la India en la isla de Elefanta (también llamada isla de Gharapuri), que destaca dos montículos aislados por un estrecho valle. La pequeña isla está salpicada de varios restos arqueológicos antiguos que son las únicas declaraciones de su rico pasado social. Estos restos arqueológicos descubren pruebas de ocupación desde el siglo II a. Las cuevas de Elefanta cortadas en piedra se construyeron entre mediados del quinto y sexto siglo d.C. La más significativa entre las cavernas es la incomparable Cueva 1, que mide 39 metros desde el acceso frontal hasta el posterior. En planta, esta caverna en la ladera occidental se parece mucho a la cueva de Dumar Lena en Ellora, en la India. El cuerpo principal de la caverna, salvo los pórticos de los tres lados abiertos y el pasadizo trasero, tiene 27 metros cuadrados y está sostenido por hileras de seis tramos cada una. Las cuevas de Elefanta son Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.

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!!!!
