Le grotte di Elephanta si trovano nell'India occidentale sull'isola di Elephanta (chiamata anche isola di Gharapuri), che mette in evidenza due collinette isolate da una stretta valle. La piccola isola è costellata di vari resti archeologici antichi che sono le uniche dichiarazioni al suo ricco passato sociale. Questi resti archeologici rivelano prove di occupazione già dal II secolo aC. Le grotte di Elephanta tagliate nella pietra furono costruite tra la metà del quinto e il sesto secolo d.C. La più significativa tra le caverne è l'impareggiabile Grotta 1, che stima 39 metri dall'accesso anteriore a quello posteriore. In pianta, questa caverna nel versante occidentale assomiglia intensamente alla grotta di Dumar Lena a Ellora, in India. Il corpo principale della caverna, esclusi i portici sui tre lati aperti e il retrotreno, è di 27 metri quadrati ed è sostenuto da file di sei sezioni ciascuna. Le grotte di Elephanta sono un patrimonio mondiale dell'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!!!!
