Mahakali Caves: Monsoon Day Trip to 2,000-Year-Old Mumbai

Skip the mall and escape to Mahakali Caves, a 2,000-year-old complex of 19 rock-cut Buddhist caves in Andheri East, just about an hour from central Mumbai. Perfect for monsoon things to do, the basalt cliffs turn lush with moss, making the ancient prayer halls and carvings extra photogenic. Guided Mahakali tours via Cityscope run July 22–31 for easy, curated discovery.
