There's a lot to see and explore in Kanheri Caves in terms of what the caves have to offer and even around the caves. There are many unfinished paintings of Buddha within the Caves. Apart from the paintings, one should also visit the ‘Vihara’ (prayer hall) and the different monasteries around the cave for a glimpse of former Buddhist occupation and life. Apart from that, there's a whole lot of adventurous sports such as rappelling/trapeze and treks around Sanjay Gandhi National Park or the Silondha Trail which you can do simply by asking one of the local tour guides to arrange it for you. The hilly terrain of the caves also creates several, small waterfalls which are beautiful to see especially during the monsoons. The natural streams and rivers around the Kanheri Caves offer stunning views and beautiful locations for families who come here to enjoy a small picnic while visiting the caves.
You can reach Kanheri Caves with the help of local transport like auto-rickshaws, taxis and local buses. Once you are at the National Park which is in Borivali, you can either decide to trek to the Kanheri Caves or opt for paid transport within the park. If you decide to travel by railways then Borivali and Malad stations are the closest disembarkation points to get to Kanheri Caves. From here, you can opt for local transport like an auto-rickshaw/bus which will take you to Kanheri Caves
