Vishal Turi (turivishal)

A nice place, I loved the fairy boat traveling to the cave, try to return in the last fairy boat in the evening, so it would be great timing for sunset when you return, and also the night lighting of the city and cruse.
Caves are maintained, but takes different different charges step by step while you go inside. I don't know why they are not making a single charge including all...
At 1hr boat ride from Gateway of India, lies an island that holds ancient caves that are beautified with artistic carvings on the walls of cave, mostly dedicated to Hindu god Shiva. The stories depicted on the walls are explanatory with information boards near them. A guide will be useful for in-depth information.
It’s a fantastic picnic spot with a train to CST, bus to Gateway, boat to Elephanta Jetty, toy train and a trek. It’s a family picnic spot. Would recommend to travel in the morning and take the first boat at 9 am. The afternoon heat doesn’t dampen your travel excitement and festive mood.
they have a small number of tickets, they should make it into one ticket from start to end and maybe have a higher prices charge ticket for food and cold water.
Great temple to visit if you enjoy historical places. The statues are damaged by invaders in the past. Still it gives you the imagination of how beautiful it would have been in its prime. Beautiful cave temple carved out of the mountain. There are restaurants serving veg and non veg food. You need to climb about 💯+ steps before you reach the caves. Old people will find it tough. Shops selling brass and stone articles are also there. The toy train costs Rs18 from the port to the base of the steps to the temple. About 1 km. You will need to take a ferry from Gateway of India... cost about Rs 260. The ferry ride is the best part of a journey. It takes one hour of Ferry ride to the caves. You can see big ships and vessels anchoring in the sea lovely ride. It's about a 3 to 4 hour trip . Better to start from Gateway of India in the morning at 8 or 9 am .
Smaller than I had expected, but still worth visiting. Only the main area has sculptures. You could take the trail around the mountain, but the caves elsewhere are unfinished. They might have a couple hollow rooms, some pillars but are otherwise unremarkable to the average person. Beware of the throngs of people taking selfies.
Please. Don't. Feed. The. Monkeys. They will get aggressive when you tease them with food.
Nice place. But the management needs to maintain the cleanliness. Monkeys are there. Be aware if you are with foods. They may hurt you. Hindu culture remains are available with Lord Shiva Ling. Visited with family & I found worth visiting once.
A Good weekend destination.There are many historical caves. Caves are well maintained. This place worth it going. This area has many shop's having wonderful handicrafts & jewellery made from crystals & semi precious stones. Perfect place for stone & crystal lovers. Overall, an nice weekend destination outside Mumbai.

Nice place to understand our heritage, culture, Spiritual monuments, beautiful carving of caves and large stone idols of different gods. People generally come here to saw the beauty of nature with men made caves but I found here the fineness of old time art over stones.
Visit at least once with family. There is one cave with trimurti sculpture. You have to take boat from gate way of India. Boat ferry cost is Rs. 260 for return journey. Many food stalls available. Start your journey early morning to avoid queue of boat.
