Elephanta Caves

📍 approx. 14 km from the hotel

UNESCO-listed rock-cut cave temples to Shiva on an island, an hour's ferry from the Gateway.

Carved around the 5th–8th centuries, the main cave holds the magnificent three-headed Sadashiva (Trimurti). Plan a half day: ferry, a short toy train and steps up the hill.
