How to Reach

While Kanheri Caves is a bit of a walk from the metro, it's still your best bet to avoid Mumbai's traffic. Many visitors take an auto-rickshaw for the last stretch.

Board the Line 2A

2

Get off at Borivali West

3

Head to Kanheri Caves

Around 60 minutes walking. Consider a shared auto (₹20-30) if you prefer.

Prefer not to walk? Auto-rickshaws and cabs are available right outside Borivali West station. Negotiate the fare before you hop in, or use Uber/Ola for fixed pricing.

About Kanheri Caves

Kanheri Caves offers a welcome green escape in Mumbai. Nestled in Borivali, it provides a space to breathe, walk, and reconnect with nature without leaving the city. Locals love it for morning jogs and evening strolls.

Borivali West metro station is the closest to Kanheri Caves, though you'll want to factor in the 60-minute walk (or grab an auto). It's not the shortest commute, but the metro still beats sitting in Mumbai traffic.
