★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is truly an example as how our ancestors were advanced. It shows a different level of Engineering as how they could build such a strong structure from one single piece of Rock with in a mountain. Even after the invasion from Portuguese forces it stands strong till date telling it's own history and Roch culture. Must visit place for the Art Lovers

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ very much interested in caves and ancient architecture then this is good place.
It will take whole day for a visit.
Carvings, architecture, history behind the caves are amazing. You will really get astonished with overall experience.
The rock cut architecture of the caves has been dated in the range of late 3rd to late 5th century AD.
There are total 7 caves; all shows worship of Lord Shiva. You can see ‘Shiva lingam’ in all caves.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A place wrapped up in history right from start of the journey from Gateway of India. The hour long boat journey is very exciting and you glimpse some small and big Cargo ships on the way. The place have a train ride too. Lots of gift shops, food stalls and restaurant too. There is a hotel on the island too but only for day stay and you have to check out by the evening. About the caves, out of total 5 caves cave 1 is the biggest and where one spends most time. These are very old caves and damage is already done to most of the statue. Best time to visit is winter and rainy day

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1. Ticket prices have revised now. Its not 180 anymore. Its 260₹ pp return.
2. It takes lil more then 1 hr to reach. But ferry ride is amazing and refreshing.
3. Toy train to reach island entrence is for 10 ₹ pp.
4. If you plan your trip on summer day make sure to carry min 2 lit water (chilled)per person. Or some buttermilk soft drink something otherwise keep paying their at various stalls. From entrence to reach top of caves you have to walk 120 stairs. So make sure you are prepared for it.
5. Enough hydration, good choice of clothing and definitely shoes are must as lot of walking is their on the island.
6. First 2 3 caves are actually very beautiful and have lot of picturesque monuments and carvings. Rest of caves are quite empty.
7. Dont carry food packets open in hand as monkeys might attack you and take it away.
8. Make sure to keep the place clean and tidy. They have facility for toilet at 2 3 different places which is quite good and washrooms are well maintained. They have charge to be paid.
Overall plan your trip with well thought and then enjoy.
