Itinerary

  • Kanheri Caves

    The Kanheri Caves are a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt outcrop in the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the island of Salsette in the western outskirts of Mumbai, India. They contain Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings and inscriptions, dating from the 1st century BCE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain. The site is on a hillside, and is accessed via rock-cut steps. The cave complex comprises one hundred and nine caves, carved from the basalt rock and dating from the 1st century BCE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri had become an important Buddhist settlement on the Konkan coast by the 3rd century CE.

  • Global Vipassana Pagoda

    The Global Vipassana Pagoda is a Meditation Hall near Gorai, North-west of Mumbai, India. The Pagoda was inaugurated by Pratibha Patil, then President of India on 8 February 2009. It is built on donated land on a peninsula between Gorai creek and the Arabian Sea. The pagoda is to serve as a monument of peace and harmony. The Global Vipassana Pagoda has been built out of gratitude to Sayagyi U Ba Khin (1899 - 1971), Vipassana teacher and the first Accountant-General of Independent Burma, who was instrumental in Vipassana returning to India, the country of its origin. The center of the Global Vipassana Pagoda contains the world's largest stone dome built without any supporting pillars.

An oasis in Mumbai - a worthwhile trip

Published on Feb, 2025

A friend and I booked with ‘Get your Guide’ to do this trip and we had a great guide - Shuaib. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and spoke good English. The caves trip involved lots of walking up and down steps and was fascinating to find this site in the middle of a 100 km jungle, situated in Mumbai. Not really suitable for anyone with mobility issues. There is wildlife in the jungle and the park had other places to go see animals, but we didn’t do that. We then travelled by car, ferry and Tuc tuc to the Pagoda. We needed one of our passport numbers to get through security here which I thought was odd. It was a lovely visit, not too many people around, the grounds are beautiful and we even got to go inside the pagoda and meditate for 10 minutes. Inside is not that spectacular but that is the idea! There is a gift shop on way out and the the prices were very reasonable so I bought all my gifts for home in here. It was nice to browse without being hassled too. The ferry trip was interesting with foot passengers and motorbikes all packed in. An excellent day out away from the noise and smog of Mumbai city.

Just Perfect!

What a day! From communication once booked, to dropping off at the hotel again, the trip was perfect. Great photographer as well, many memories! Thank you!

Great tour of the caves and pagoda with Sameer.

Published on Jan, 2025

I was very pleased how Sameer contacted me the day before to confirm time and pick up. Picked up promptly. He was very helpful with navigating some of the stairs to the caves. The caves were very amazing. Sameer explained the background and took us to a special spot that we were able to meditate and experience nature and calmness. later we went on a ferry ride to go see the global pagoda. I really enjoyed viewing the paintings of the life series of the Buddha. Sameer explained the story behind many of the paintings. I highly recommend this tour. if we would’ve had more time in Mumbai, I would’ve booked more tours directly with him.

Awesome day with guide Sameer

Published on Dec, 2024

Very well organised tour. The caves and pagoda are breathtaking. Guide Sameer has a lot of knowledge about the places you visit and is very nice company to be in. There is no "fixed schedule" and hence nothing feels rushed. 10/10 experience!
