Kanheri Caves

Sight-seeing, Culture, History. By Ira Writer from Bangalore, India on Mar 01, 2008.

The Kanheri Caves are an undervalued historical gem of Mumbai. It's the Elephanta Caves with a lot more excitement and a lot more to see. You have Chaityas, Viharas- with oriental inscription et all. There are some very eerie caves too with gigantic representations of the Buddha. It's a splendid experince every time you go there. Unfortunately, it attracts an unruly crowd in the monsoons for all the waterfalls and I just hope that they don't chip away this magnificent piece of heritage with their "Rahul loves Pooja"s.

Directions:
Get to Borivali National Park by road or by local train(Borivali Station-East Side). Once inside the park, you can either take a bus from the entrance or walk it up which will take you about 30 min. If you're with kids you're recommended to take the bus.
