Itinerary:
Kanheri Caves: Embark on a fascinating journey as we pick you up from your hotel and head to Kanheri Caves, nestled within the lush forests of Sanjay Gandhi National Park. These 109 remarkable caves, carved into a massive basaltic rock outcrop, are a testament to ancient architectural prowess. Explore the smaller viharas, once used as resting places for monks, and marvel at the larger chaityas adorned with exquisite Buddhist sculptures, where worship took place. The main hall houses a towering 7-meter-tall Lord Buddha, and 34 majestically carved pillars grace the interior. Witness the unique eleven-headed Avalokiteshwara motif and discover over 100 inscriptions in various scripts, including Brahmi, Devnagri, Pallavi, and Sanskrit.
Dharavi: Continue your journey with a visit to Dharavi, the second-largest slum in Asia and the third-largest in the world. Venture through its narrow alleys, experiencing the vibrant sense of community and resilience that thrives here. Witness a wide range of activities within this legendary mini-city, including a plastic recycling center, leather workshops, pottery studios, and papadum bakeries. Explore the local schools and churches used by residents, and discover the art of soap-making. Challenge preconceived notions as you realize that Dharavi is more than just poverty; it's a place of industry, innovation, and unity. Gain inspiration that transcends into your own daily life.
Drop-Off: After a day filled with contrasts, we will drop you off at your hotel in Mumbai, leaving you with a deeper understanding of the city's multifaceted identity.
