Reisroute
Na een comfortabele pick-up van uw Mumbai hotel wordt u naar de "Gateway of India" gebracht. Vanaf daar neemt u een 1 uur durende veerboot naar Elephanta Island
Bij aankomst op het eiland, neem je een trein die, zal blijken te zijn een leuke en eigenzinnige manier om te reizen, Daarna ga je verder naar de Elephanta Caves. De beroemde grotten van Elephanta, aangewezen als UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 om het kunstwerk te behouden. Elephanta Caves zijn uit de rotsen gehouwen tempels/standbeelden van Heer Shiva, Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh die dateren uit de 5e eeuw. Elephanta Island werd genoemd door de Portugezen, nadat het standbeeld van een Olifant werd gezien in de buurt van het landingsgebied van het eiland. Olifant toont legendes van Lord Shiva uitgehouwen in rotsgrottempels. Het grottencomplex is een verzameling van heiligdommen, binnenplaatsen, binnencellen, grote zalen en portieken gerangschikt in de prachtige symmetrie van de Indiase rotsachtige architectuur, en gevuld met prachtige stenen sculpturen van hindoeïstische goden en godinnen. Het tempelcomplex zou ook de verblijfplaats van Heer Shiva zijn. Daarna stapt u nogmaals aan boord van de veerboot om terug te keren naar Mumbai waar uw Dharavi Slum tour begint.
Meer dan de helft van de inwoners van Mumbai moet in sloppenwijken wonen om te overleven in de dure megastad. “Dharavi”, is een uitverkoren plek geworden voor dergelijke bewoners en herbergt een kakelende bevolking van minstens een half miljoen. Velen geloven dat tours naar “Dharavi” beroemd worden door het succes van de Oscar winnende film “Slumdog Millionaire”. Onze lokale sloppenwijk Gids neemt u mee door het gecommercialiseerde gebied van de sloppenwijk waar veel kleinschalige cottage units / recycling units actief zijn. Vooral schroot / industrieel afval recycling is een grote onderneming in Dharavi en de lokale bevolking verzamelt materialen uit de hele stad. Afgedankte materialen worden naar de kleine werkplaatsen gebracht om ze te reinigen, verwerken en recyclen, bijvoorbeeld van oude aluminium blikjes tot plastic stoelen.

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.

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

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
