Elephanta Caves
Elephanta Caves (UNESCO) feature dramatic basalt rock-cut temples, towering Trimurti carvings, and candle-lit corridors carved from the island’s cliffs.

Entry fees and timings vary—check latest tickets before you go. From Gharapuri/ghat areas, take a ferry across; parking is limited, so arrive early and travel light.
