- stellaguardiLondon, UK53 contributionsIt is a must see and agreed with a previous review that the place is super crowded. We went during a festival when they were projecting the history of India on the gateway, with music. It was amazing.Written 21 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Our guide provided insightful information about the temple's history and significance, enhancing our understanding of its cultural importance. The rituals and prayers we witnessed were profoundly moving. Despite the crowd, the organization and management were impressive, making the visit smooth and memorable.

- VINITA DUGAD4 contributionsEssel World is one of the oldest Amusement parks in India, I have know. Along with Appu Ghar and Fantasy Land, but this one survived.
I have visited Essel World more than 10 times, and it never gets old. The rides are average but yes, they have added a few more rides as the competition has increased.
This is good chillout amusement park, not so thrilling but mid-thrill rides and nicely maintained place.

This visit was after 4-5 years, post covid.
We entered the beach from on of the southern gates, opp Bloom Hotels. The crowd was less, the sand was good. We walked towards the main beach front, and it got more and more crowded. Yes it was a Friday night, but trust me, the amount of people, and the filth they created, was unimaginable. Plastic wrappers, bottles, broken slippers, eaten coconuts and corn stubs; even plastic straws that are banned. To top it off, we ate at those brightly lit pav bhaji and gola restaurants. All of us had bloating feeling for the next 2 days. Millions eat there though! We chose a gola guy who claimed to use packaged water, was a bit more expensive than the others.
Verdict, juhu beach, avoid during weekends. Eating at those restaurants, completely avoid. There are a few very good bars and restaurants around, try them. Pure veg also available.Written 11 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - T. A.Burleigh Heads, Australia3 contributionsThis is such an underrated place...
I went in Feb so it was dry and not lush but beautiful nonetheless. I've been to Buddhist caves in many countries in Asia but this was one of the most impressive by the shear size of some.
I was lucky to have a security guard take me around skipping to the best caves, providing simple indights into Buddhist life 2000 years ago and the use of rooms and shortcutting to the top. Worth the obligatory handout at the end. He demonstrated the auditory delight that is mediative chanting from cave to cave- if you're by yourself you HAVE to do.
It's only from the top with the perspective of dustance that you can truly appreciate the overwhelming size that is Mumbai- wow!
I hired a bike for the 5km in-it was hot but could ride almost the whole way (last 200m was fairly steep without gears- hint double check the chain is tight before leaving- mine kept falling off. Not a massive hassle but if you're not used to bike repairs it could be a long walk).
About an hour from Mumbai- I took an uber rental but there was plenty of transport up there so you can easily just get a tuk tuk and find one back or a taxi.
Final hint- stretch out- you're in for some steps..Written 24 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DeepSushjuNavi Mumbai, India28 contributionsSanjay Gandhi National park a green oasis in the concrete jungle we call Mumbai
Positives
History in the form of Kanheri caves with the friendly BEST buses available with good frequency for the visit
Safari well organised and we got to see a Lion and 2 tigers, so paisa vasool
Cool atmosphere with windy weather a relief from the Mumbai heat
A beautiful souvenir shop near the entry/exit
Cycling facility avail plus golf cart/buggy
Negatives
The washrooms near the bus boarding for Kanheri need drastic improvement
The Vanrani toy train services not running
No guide services for Kanheri caves or the park itself
Didn’t see any organised cafeteria only the hawkers selling fruits and murmura
While staff is helpful there could be more people involved in the overall park upkeep and tourismWritten 24 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just driving here is a different feeling. I started from Worli sea link and come to nariman point.
2. Lot of hotels are there and all of them have queue.
3. On one side you will have sea shore and on another side we have marine drive. You will this place many times in bollywood movies. Lot of movies are shot here.
4. It is open throughout the day and parking charges are high.Written 27 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
