I highly recommend this tour. From the time we were picked up, till the time we were dropped off was a 5 star experience. Our guide Vikrant was so knowledgeable and was able to keep us very informed and answered any questions we had. He took his time with us ( we can be kind of slow) but he was patient with us and was there to lend a physical hand when needed. The driver made us feel very comfortable which is hard to to in Mumbai traffic, but he made sure we arrived safely to all our destinations. Two thumbs up

A must see in Mumbai

Mark_R, Oct 2025

The network of Buddhist caves are beautiful and inspiring. The ancient Buddhists carved large stone megalithic carvings. I was surprised by their size. The water hydrology was very sophisticated with water canals and dams. A must see with our knowledgeable guide Sanseer. Our car was a nice SUV with excellent AC. Good Driver.

fascinating caves; beautiful park

Karen_S, Jan 2025

Sanjay Gandhi National Park is just 1.5 ~ 2 hours from Mumbai City. And the caves inside the park are fascinating. Mr. Sameer introduced Mumbai and the caves along the way. Very professional. I was able to take my time enjoying the beautiful park and Kanheri caves. He gave great tips for what to look for and to listen in the caves and in the park. Deers, many cute monkeys and hawks were spotted. The tour ended with Mandapeshwar Caves. A great experience you must have when you visit Mumbai.

Fascinating Kanheri cave tour

Pauline_H, Dec 2024

I was staying in Goregaon so I decided to book this tour as the national park is nearby and this company offer pickups from the area. The tour was quite expensive for just one person but I wouldn't have gone alone so it was worth paying for. Sameer is an excellent guide and the caves are fascinating. The cave area is very peaceful which is unexpected so close to the city. The park and bus are quite busy at the weekend so go in the week if you can.

Great Tour Guide

10/10 tour. Sameer was a great tour guide and super friendly. We were picked up right on time and didn't feel rushed at all during the tour, Sameer really took his time to carefully explain the meaning behind each cave. Would recommend anyone wanting to explore the local caves of Mumbai to give the tour a go.

The Kanheri caves are worth visiting.

We are from Spain. Booked this tour and were incredibly lucky to find a brilliant guide who was nice and helpful.

Cave monasteries

This is a great place to experience the forest that once covered this whole area, as well as to visit the caves and view the carvings made by Buddhist monks centuries ago.
