About this activity

Relive history as you find traces of a long-lost civilization and rediscover the charm and grandeurs of the past. This Elephanta Island tour signifies the glorious abode of Lord Shiva. Consisting of seven caves on the Arabian Sea, it stands as an epitome of Hindu cave culture and is a testimony to a civilization that has long disappeared. It is a must-see destination for history buffs and archaeology lovers who would like to see true excavations pertaining to the ancient histories of India. From the Gateway of India, your tour will ride a ferry to the island where the Elephanta Caves are found. You will climb 120 steps to the plateau where these caves can be entered. There are seven major excavations in the area, and you'll be able to explore the history behind the artifacts and structures found therein. There is a spacious hall supported by huge pillars, which are characteristic of architecture of the 6th and 7th centuries. You will discover a beautiful cultural heritage site and gain deeper understanding of India's religious history.
