It lies 10 km north-east of Apollo Bunder and is the glorious abode of Lord Shiva (known as the destroyer God in Hindu mythology). The island is famous for its great cave shrine, excavated in the sixth century when the island was known as Gharapuri, the Fortress City. With the arrival of the Portuguese, the island was renamed Elephanta, after the huge carved elephant that they found at the place where they landed. 
Your tour starts right at The Gateway of India, - one of India's most unique landmarks, which is a major tourist attraction for visitors. This colossal structure was finished in 1924 and was built to commemorate the landing in Bombay, as Mumbai was then known, by King George V and Queen Mary on their first ever visit to India in 1911.
Next stop is the Hanging Gardens - these are perfectly manicured terraced gardens on the slopes of the Malabar Hill. From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the sweeping Chowpatty Beach and impressive Marine Drive. The Hanging Garden serves as a picturesque retreat for the people of Mumbai who are looking for an escape from the bustle of the city. These are terraced gardens that sprawl across the slopes of Malabar Hill, hence the name ‘Hanging Gardens’.


Then on to Mani Bhawan, a simple old-style, two storied building on Laburnum Road in Mumbai. Whenever Gandhi was in Mumbai between 1917 to 1934, he stayed here and it is now converted into a museum and research centre.


Dhobi Ghat is known as the world’s largest open air laundry, with around 700 ‘washing pens’, where the washers, locally known a Dhobis, work in the open to wash and dry their clothes and linen. Built by the British over 150 years ago it is now being updated to include machines for the first time.
