Ashutosh KoriJanuary 26, 2015Best Place To hangout with friends and family, historical monuments and the environment is awesome, but don't mess with the Monkeys, Market of elephanta is way better for antique and show piece shopinUpvote4DownvoteUpvoted 2 weeks ago
MidiaDecember 12, 2018A nice island near Mumbai. You can go there by ferry from gate of India. Here is lots of monkeys 🐒 but be careful about them ,not very friendly. You should pay600 roopies as foreigner to visit cavesUpvote1DownvoteUpvoted Jan 23- Katrine SchølerJanuary 26, 2014The first cave is the only one with statutes well kept. If you have been to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, this is peanuts. The boat trip is nice and refreshing

Bijan YoungJanuary 30, 2015Get tickets just outside the gateway of India entry. Ferries every 15/30m depending on season. Smaller ferries seem to be faster!UpvoteDownvote

Anastasia KutsevolNovember 5, 2016Неплохо для посещения, если любите водные и пешие прогулки и есть лишнее время, вход в пещеры 500 рупий, много обезьян, сувенирные лавки и кафешки.
