(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Gateway of India
You will be picked up from fixed point / hotel leave for sightseeing. The Gateway of India is the unofficial icon of the city on the shores of the Arabian Sea. The majestic, arched structure made of basalt was built to commemorate the visit of King George V in 1911. It later became the symbolic entrance to India for British Viceroys and Governor-Generals. The beautiful facade of the Taj Mahal hotel can be seen in the backdrop.
Elephanta Caves
From the Gateway of India, board a ferry for the one hour ride to Elephanta Island, home to the 2nd century B.C. Elephanta Caves. The caves have Hindu sculptures as well as Buddhist stupas that show how the plurality of faiths has been deeply ingrained in the Indian psyche from as early as the 2nd century B.C. Visit the ancient Buddhist monasteries and marvel at the Hindu temples and sculptures made in these rock cut caves. The caves remain closed on Mondays.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, previously known as Victoria Terminus, is the busy railway station of Mumbai. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is a blend of Gothic and Indian architectural styles. The central dome and the numerous pointed arches and turrets make it a well-known facade of Mumbai.
