    Elephanta Caves Tour

    A renowned Unesco World Heritage Site, the Elephanta Caves are one of Mumbai’s most spectacular temple sites, boasting precious collections of Hindu temple art. In fact, Elephanta’s cave-temples date back to 600 AD, named after the elephant statue that once stood near the island’s shore.

    To start off your day of discovery, we’ll take you to the busy Sassoon Docks, one of Mumbai’s oldest ports.

Listen to the tales and stories behind these sites. We’ll end the day with a delicious lunch with a local family.
