Mumbai is the capital and the most spoiling hideaway of Maharashtra that wonderfully combines ancient tradition with flashy modernity. You will instantly fall in love with its spectacular location overlooking the Arabian Sea. It is the city where high-rise buildings dominate the sky, latest fashion trends are set by country’s top haute couture, colonial gems keep the history intact and beaches adorn the shoreline. With its pocket full of surprises, it will offer you multifarious options to choose from the array of experiences.
Arriving here feels like stepping into the bygone world that now remains in the pages of history. It is a cluster of cave temples constructed between 5th and 8th century in an offshore Elephanta Island. To reach here, ferries are available from the Gateway of India. Unfold the beauty of this exemplary rock-cut cave architecture housing Hindu and Buddhist cave temples.
This is the monument a tourist would never want to miss in Mumbai. The historic 20th-century landmark is located in the Apollo Bander facing the Arabian Sea. Unravel its magnificent Indo-Saracenic architecture enriched with features like arch, domes and perforated screens. Owing to its riveting beauty, people fondly call it the Taj Mahal of Mumbai.
So renowned is the beauty of this 600-year-old historic site, that makes it one of the most visited attractions of Mumbai. It houses a mosque and the tomb of famous Sufi saint, Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari. Impeccable Indo-Islamic style of architecture can be seen and equally enticing is its location perched on an islet in Worli Bay. A causeway connects it to the mainland but submerges during monsoon due to heavy rainfall.
It is the most popular beach in Mumbai and the favorite evening spot of locals. People come here to enjoy the sunset view, jog, and take a stroll or simply take in the view of picturesque surroundings. It would be best for you to visit it for watching the sunset and enjoy the wholesome local street food, especially Bhelpuri, from the eateries lining the beach.
Another noteworthy specimen of rock-cut cave architecture is Kanheri Caves. You can find it in Borivali, behind Sanjay Gandhi National Park. A group of 129 caves awaits you a fascinating time with history and art. Enjoy the tour admiring Buddhist sculptures, relief carvings, rock-cut stupas, inscriptions and incised paintings.
By Air- You can avail domestic as well as International air connectivity in the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
By Rail- Long distance trains are available from Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Additionally, the city has six more railway stations that also offer train connectivity within the city.
By Road- Mumbai is connected to all parts of the country with well-maintained National Highways.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !
I just came back from a 12 days Rajasthan tour. It was just myself and my 14 year olde daughter. I found Caper surfing the web and had non suggestion from friends and had never read comments or reviews about it. Totally "blind-choice". I was very lucky. The organization was really excellent. The agent that followed us, Mr. Praveen Juyal did a great job. I decided our itinerary and he punctually gave me suggestions on the best management of my choices. The hotel choice was fine and confirmed expectations. We had tour guides in every site seeing location and they were all extremely professional, very punctual and really kind and polite.
But I must say that what made the trip even better was our driver; Mr. Deshraj.
One of those persons that you really wish you could meet once in your life. Not only an excellent driver but always helpful, respectful and friendly. He explained us many things about Indian life along the journey and sometimes stopped for short breaks in beautiful places on the road that were not even mentioned in the guide books. My only regret is that at the end of the trip I didn't have much money left and I left a tip probably not adeguate for the kind of service but I will definitely send him try to sort this maybe in a next trip. Thank you very much Caper and Deshraj.

A Memorable Trip
We recently concluded a 12 day driving tour of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan with Caper Travel. It was most enjoyable !! The logistics arrangements were excellent - from tour planning , hotel selection , vehicle condition to driver. Mr Alok handled the planning, and Mr Vikram was our Tempo driver throughout the journey. Mr Vikram was very helpful , accommodating and patient throughout the tour, despite long hours of driving on the roads ( not to mention India traffic}. We would not hesitate to recommend Caper to our fellow travellers who are thinking of visiting India. Thank You Caper !

Golden triangle goa and mumbia
Just come back from an amazing 2 week trip to India. First we done the golden triangle which we chose to do the train trip from Delhi to Agra a must you have to do if not just for the experience. All the cities were wonderful but be prepared to see lots of temple one seems to run into another but wow the taj was my highlight along with the Hindu temple in Delhi. The driving the cows the dogs are everywhere are all an experience. Goa was beautiful we stayed at the taj exotica. In mumbia we done a city tour and ended our trip in the taj for afternoon tea another must. It is a exhilarating trip but one I will never forget. From booking with Manika to all the drivers and guides they were always there to meet us from the airport and hotels on time. They really looked after us thank you all.

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from our first trip to India and we must say it was absolutely fascinating. The itinerary was first class and covered everything we could have wished for. On arrival we were met by a very nice rep and driver who took us to our hotel and sorted out the necessary paperwork with us. We had our driver Vishan for our time in the north and he was terrific, kept the vehicle spotless and kept us supplied with water. We then flew to the south of India and met up with our driver Suhdeer who again was very nice and very informative about things as we drove along. The guides we had on all our trips were excellent and again very informative.
The only down side to it all was that in our package we paid for the drivers accommodation, food and allowance only to find out that the drivers don’t receive this money and if they want accommodation they have to pay for it themselves. We ended up paying one of our drivers an amount for the nights that we had him for him to get somewhere to sleep and food as we were concerned that if he slept in his car he wouldn’t be rested enough to take on the next day driving for 4-5 hours.
All in all Caper Travel are excellent in their planning and can’t fault them for that.

Caper travel
Recently traveled to India on a private guided tour with Caper Travel. Ms. Mumtaz Khan worked with me on arranging my itinerary.
She was always available to answer all my concerns immediately. On my arrival in Delhi I was welcome with warm smile at the airport by a young gentleman name Kapol Joshi . My experience with the company was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to India.
I would also like to mention the personal attention I received at Amritsar by Aman Shara and his lovely wife who welcomed me and my son to their home
and soon to open their beautiful hotel.
