A wonderful tour! Arshad, our guide, did an excellent job explaining all the monuments and landmarks we saw. Arshad is very eager to share information about the history and culture of India. He is a very safe and good driver. Arshad pays a lot of attention on details, and he did a very fine job to make this tour a very special experience for us. He told us that we are not just his customers but his guests. The Kanheri Caves Mumbai and Pagoda Tour with Arshad was worth every minute and dollar spend!

Wir hatten eine schöne, interessante Tour. Es war sehr heiß, beide Guides ( wir hatten innerhalb des Nationalparks einen separaten Guide) haben sich sehr bemüht uns die Tour so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Wir bekamen sehr viel Gelegenheit lokales Essen und Obst zu probieren, alles ist uns gut bekommen. Sehr familiär und sehr zu empfehlen!

We spent the day with Nasar our guide and driver - and we had a wonderful experience. We saw so many different places and had so many experiences ... a trip on the ferry boat to the Golden Pagoda Temple, an exciting tuk tuk ride, meditation in the dome, and the best part was listening to the security officer chanting in the Kanheri Caves - thanks Nasar for a brilliant tour!


Highlights

Explore the Kanheri Caves inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park in northern Mumbai with a local guide. A centre of Buddhist learning and meditation since the 1st century BC, these caves let you see up close the chaityas (prayer halls) and viharas (monasteries) carved out of basalt, along with intricate sculptures and ancient inscriptions. With the 6-hour option, you'll also visit the Global Vipassana Pagoda with its striking golden dome and learn about Vipassana meditation. Depending on your option, start at the meeting point or enjoy convenient pickup and drop-off from your accommodation in Mumbai.


Program

Walk through the ancient Buddhist
Kanheri Caves with a guide

Enter Sanjay Gandhi National Park and travel for about 20 minutes enjoying the park scenery, then spend about 2 hours 30 minutes exploring the Kanheri Caves. Dating back to the 1st century BC, these caves were carved out of solid basalt and still feature chaityas (prayer halls), viharas (monasteries), intricate sculptures and ancient inscriptions.

Your guide explains the history and significance of each cave, helping you better understand the influence of Buddhism in the region.

Visit the Global Vipassana Pagoda (6-hour option)

With the "Kanheri Caves & Pagoda Tour" option, travel by car and ferry to the Global Vipassana Pagoda with its striking golden dome and explore it for about 2 hours. See the meditation hall inside the pagoda and hear from your guide about Vipassana meditation and Buddhist practices. Around the pagoda, you can also enjoy views toward the Arabian Sea.

With the pickup options, meet your guide in your Mumbai hotel lobby and travel in an air-conditioned vehicle. With the "Meeting point" option, meet your guide at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park ticket counter; transport is not included.
