The Kanheri Caves (Kānherī-guhā) 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 former 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 CE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain.
All the activities (except Gandhi Tekdi & Kanheri Caves) are closed on Mondays & during lunch hour (1:30pm - 2:30pm).
