Visite privée guidée des grottes d'Elephanta et de l'île
Description
Les grottes d'Elephanta sont situées dans l'ouest de l'Inde sur l'île d'Elephanta (également appelée l'île de Gharapuri), qui met en évidence deux collines isolées par une vallée étroite. La petite île est parsemée de diverses anciennes parties archéologiques restantes qui sont les seules déclarations de son riche passé social. Ces vestiges archéologiques révèlent des preuves d'occupation dès le IIe siècle av. Les grottes d'Elephanta taillées dans la pierre ont été construites entre le milieu du cinquième et le sixième siècle de notre ère. La plus importante parmi les cavernes est l'incomparable Cave 1, qui estime 39 mètres de l'accès avant à l'arrière. En plan, cette caverne du versant ouest ressemble intensément à la grotte de Dumar Lena à Ellora, en Inde. Le corps principal de la caverne, barrant les porches sur les trois côtés ouverts et le passage arrière, mesure 27 mètres carrés et est soutenu par des lignes de six sections chacune. Les grottes d'Elephanta sont un site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.

This was our first tour in Mumbai and it was a lovely experience. Shruti met us at the meeting point on time and made sure we had water before going in the boat. On arrival we met Manoj, a local who has lived on the island his whole life. He made sure we were looked after and even bought us some local lemon juice (sweet and salty). Manoj was very informative and got us into the caves hassle free! Crowd wasn’t too bad but we went during monsoon season and were lucky to get across!
