Stop At: Karla Caves, Karli, Lonavala India

Meet your tour guide in the lobby of your Mumbai City hotel at roughly 7am. From there, proceed to Karla Caves for a 10am arrival time. Trek around 200 steps to explore the caves, excavated for the Buddhist monks, who used to gather here during the monsoons. The caves have rock-cut architecture and are comprised of Chaitya; they're also home to several viharas and monasteries, which your guide will tell you about.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Bhaja Caves, Bhaje Caves Road, Khandala, Lonavala 412106 India

After the first portion of your tour, you will break for lunch at your chosen restaurant (your own expense). At 1:30pm, continue to the Bhaja caves, another religious site not too far from the Karla Caves. Cave number 12 functions as a Chaitya hall and cave number 1 exists as the dwelling home of its master architect. The remaining caves contain inscriptions that detail information about the donors. Cover the territory by foot to get an up-close look.

When your cave exploration is complete, you'll be driven back to your Mumbai hotel for a 6:30pm arrival.
