What are people saying about Sanjay Gandhi National Park

Kanheri Caves and Sanjay Gandhi National Park

Melissa_C, May 2024

Interesting Tour

We had a very interesting tour with Rahil. It was convenient that he picked us up and brought us back to the hotel. It was nice to have someone who could more easily navigate the park entrance entrance fees and expectations and was happy to explain that to us. It is clear he is passionate about nature and animals.

Don’t Overlook This Tour!

Don’t overlook this tour! Since I had already done Elephanta Caves as well as a city tour in Mumbai, I still needed to fill one of my remaining days in Mumbai. Doubted this tour at first, but it does not disappoint! My favorite part was definitely the Kanheri Caves. Fair warning, that it is a bit of a steep climb. I wasn’t aware of this, and while it wasn’t difficult, just want to err on the side of caution. Though, the guide was amazing, as she even did this in flats rather than sneakers.

If you have the time, take this tour

We enjoyed being able to explore with our guide Rahul who was outstanding. The caves are just extraordinary to see and learn about the people who carved them out. Afterwards we enjoyed an amazing lunch (not included but only cost $12 for 3 people) in the slum area that I would say was some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had (and I lived in London area for 6 hrs) if you’re looking for something a bit different, book this. You will be well taken care of and safe.
