Après une prise en charge confortable depuis votre hôtel de Mumbai, vous serez conduit à la "Porte de l'Inde". De là, vous prendrez un ferry de 1 heure pour l'île Elephanta
À l'arrivée à l'île, vous prendrez un train qui, s'avérera une façon amusante et décalée de voyager, puis vous vous dirigerez vers les grottes d'éléphanta. Les célèbres grottes d'Éléphanta, classées au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1987 pour préserver l'œuvre. Les grottes d'éléphanta sont des temples taillés dans la roche/statues du Seigneur Shiva, Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh datant du Ve siècle. L'île Elephanta a été nommée par les Portugais, après que la statue d'un Éléphant ait été vue près de la zone d'atterrissage de l'île.Éléphanta présente des légendes du Seigneur Shiva sculptées dans des temples rupestres. Le complexe troglodytique est un ensemble de sanctuaires, de cours intérieures, de cellules intérieures, de grandes salles et de portiques disposés dans la splendide symétrie de l'architecture indienne taillée dans la roche, et rempli de sculptures en pierre exquises de dieux et de déesses hindous. Le complexe du temple serait également la demeure du Seigneur Shiva. Ensuite, vous monterez à bord du ferry une fois de plus pour retourner à Mumbai où commence votre visite du bidonville de Dharavi.
Plus de la moitié des habitants de Bombay doivent vivre dans des bidonvilles pour survivre dans la mégapole coûteuse. « Dharavi », est devenu un endroit choisi pour ces habitants et il accueille une population coqueluche d’au moins un demi-million de personnes. Beaucoup pensent que les tournées à « Dharavi » deviennent célèbres à cause du succès du film oscarisé « Slumdog Millionaire ». Notre Guide local des bidonvilles vous conduira à travers la zone commercialisée du bidonville où de nombreuses petites unités cottages / unités de recyclage fonctionnent. Surtout le recyclage des déchets industriels est une grande entreprise à Dharavi et les habitants récupèrent les matériaux de toute la ville. Les matériaux mis au rebut sont amenés dans les petits ateliers pour les nettoyer, les transformer et les recycler, par exemple des vieilles boîtes de conserve en aluminium aux chaises en plastique.

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.

An activity filled day with visits to 02 masterpieces of cave architectures . Elephanta was like a time capsule travel to ancient world
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

Elephanta caves are a wonder on earth. Impossible to achieve even today by engineers, truly divine. We visited dhibi that and Crawford market which has been there since British times. Amazing work done by discover activites
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
