Answer 2

Answer:

We made a visit to Elephanta Islands on 16 September 2014. Elephanta Island is an island off Mumbai that is home to the Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

To reach Elephanta Caves, we went to the Gateway of India in the Mumbai . From here, we took a boat. The journey takes 1 hour to reach the island by sea. The tickets are available at the Maharashtra tourism development corp (MTDC) at the entrance of Gateway.

The Caves are off-visit on Mondays. The boats leave from gate no.4 at the rear of Gateway of India.There are 2 types of boat: Economy and Deluxe. One is big, the other one is slightly smaller in size. The ticket for Deluxe boat is Rs.160 for Adult, Rs. 90 for Child (3 to 7 years) which includes return journey. If you want to see the view from the upper deck, you have to pay Rs.10/-extra to the boat operator. Economy boat charges are Rs. 20 less. The first boat leaves at 9AM. They have a boat going to Elephanta Island every 10 minutes.

When you arrive at the Elephanta Island, there will be lots of locals offering you the service to guide you around, avoid them as the cluster of caves are in close vicinity of each other and can be visited without a guide. There is a toy train available to take you to the base of the hill which houses the caves (you can even walk it.) You have to climb several steps to reach the caves.
