Elephanta Caves & Island Guided Private Tour
Beschrijving
De Elephanta-grotten bevinden zich in West-India op het eiland Elephanta (ook wel het eiland Gharapuri genoemd), dat twee heuvels benadrukt die worden geïsoleerd door een nauwe vallei. Het kleine eiland is bezaaid met verschillende oude archeologische overblijfselen die de enige verklaringen zijn voor zijn rijke sociale verleden. Deze archeologische overblijfselen brengen bewijzen van bewoning aan het licht vanaf de tweede eeuw voor Christus. De in steen gehouwen Elephanta-grotten werden gebouwd rond het midden van de vijfde tot de zesde honderden jaren na Christus. De belangrijkste van de grotten is de onvergelijkbare grot 1, die 39 meter van de voorkant naar de achterkant schat. In plattegrond lijkt deze grot op de westelijke helling aandachtig op de Dumar Lena-grot in Ellora, in India. Het hoofdlichaam van de grot, met uitzondering van de portieken aan de drie open zijden en de achterste doorgang, is 27 vierkante meter groot en wordt ondersteund door lijnen van elk zes secties. De Elephanta-grotten zijn een UNESCO-werelderfgoed.

Reisroute
Elephanta Caves zijn een UNESCO-werelderfgoed en een verzameling grottempels die voornamelijk zijn gewijd aan de hindoegod Shiva. Ze bevinden zich op het eiland Elephanta, of Gharapuri (letterlijk "de stad van de grotten") in de haven van Mumbai, 10 kilometer ten oosten van de stad Mumbai in de Indiase deelstaat Mahārāshtra. Het eiland, gelegen op ongeveer 2 kilometer ten westen van de haven van Jawaharlal Nehru, bestaat uit vijf hindoe-grotten en een paar boeddhistische stupa-heuvels die dateren uit de 2e eeuw voor Christus, evenals een kleine groep van twee boeddhistische grotten met watertanks.

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!
