3 months agoI recently visited the Mahakali Caves in Andheri. It's an Archaeological site, and even though the place isn't very big, there are quite a few caves to explore. The entry ticket is ₹20, but you have to buy it online-there's no ticket counter or person at the gate, so you need to get it from their website before entering. The place is well-maintained and clean. There are guards around, which makes the area feel safe and also helps maintain the site properly. Overall, it was a nice experience visiting the caves, and definitely worth checking out if you're nearby.

a week agoI visited Mahakali Caves in Andheri East Mumbai on a Sunday and it was quite empty. It was kept nice and clean. It has a small prayer hall called Chaitya. There are also few Buddhist carvings. This is a must visit spot for all history lovers and Buddhists. The best part is that the entry fee is only ₹20 for adults and free for children.

3 weeks agoIt's sad. The caves are sort of abandoned. There's no plaque explaining the caves. Right in Mumbai. 22 budhist caves and hardly any maintenance. Sad

a month agoMahakali Caves is a quiet and peaceful place in the middle of the city. The caves are old and interesting if you like history, but don’t expect anything very grand. You can easily cover the place in 30–50 minutes. It might take more time if you like observing details. The surroundings are green and calm. The maintenance could definitely be better and there isn’t much information provided about the caves. As per Google "Mahakali Caves are a group of 19 ancient rock-cut caves carved into a hill. They date back to around the 1st century BCE–6th century CE and were likely used as Buddhist monastic retreats with viharas, chaityas and water cisterns". It's Good spot for a short visit, photography, or just to spend some quiet time if you’re nearby. Entry per Indian national is rs-20/- which is to be paid by scanning QR code. If you came with a DSLR camera charges are extra. Staff informed that we can click photos from mobile and videography is not allowed.

2 weeks ago2000 years old Buddhist caves in the heart of Mumbai. It's a precious gem of Indian History. Archeological Survey of India is charging from the visitors but the basic requirements of site information is missing. There is no basic information about the caves are displayed at the site.
