Explore the ancient cave temples, dating back to the 5th century, adorned with intricate carvings and statues honouring the Hindu god Shiva. After touring the caves, return to Mumbai by ferry around 12:45 to 1:00 PM. Upon your return, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (at your own cost).

Post lunch, proceed with your Mumbai city tour. Visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a historic railway station with stunning architecture. Next, stop by Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat, the world’s largest open-air laundry (outside top-view). Then, visit the Prince of Wales Museum (closed Mondays), showcasing fascinating artefacts.

Continue to the Hanging Gardens (Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens) on Malabar Hill, where you can enjoy panoramic views of South Mumbai. Afterward, visit Mani Bhavan (Gandhi Museum), a historic Gujarati-style residence where Mahatma Gandhi organized many freedom movements. Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel with sweet memories of your Mumbai and Elephanta Island one day tour.
