Overview
This 4-hour tour takes you from Mumbai to the rock art of the Elephanta Caves of Elephanta Island. You will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the Gateway of India in Mumbai. From here, cruise by boat to reach the Elephanta Caves.
On your arrival at the island, you will proceed to the Elephanta Caves, which contain a collection of rock art linked to the sect of Shiva. At Elephanta, Indian art found one of its most perfect expressions, particularly in the huge and high reliefs of the main cave.
There are 7 cave excavations in the Elephanta group, all carved from solid basalt rock and dating from approximately the 6th through 7th-Centuries A.D. Among the cave excavations, Cave 1 is the most impressive, representing a superb example of evolved Brahmanical rock-cut architecture.
The cave is also famous for its exquisite and vibrant sculptures, which you will have time to explore before the return journey back across the Arabian Sea and to your hotel.
