What to expect
Believed to be built between 2nd century BC and 5th century AD as a place for the spiritual meditation of early Buddhists, Karla Cave is a marvelous piece of ancient human ingenuity. Discover many carved imageries as you explore the halls of the cave. You'll be surprised that there's a large chamber inside the complex that withstood the forces of modernization. The main entrance has three doorways which are carefully outlined with images of Buddha, which represent its history. Step into tranquility as your next stop will take you to Bhaja Caves. Located in Pune, the rock-cut caves are an important part of an ancient trade route that runs from the Arabian Sea up to Deccan Plateau. Bhaja Caves are notable for their wood-carved architecture and statues. Marvel at the viharas, a secluded place where Buddhists pray, and stupas that witnessed many significant events in the past. Before heading to your last destination of the day, a trip to one of the few old Hindu temples in the world, Ekvira Aai Mandir, will complete your journey back in time. Wrap up the day with a convenient and comfortable drop off service within Mumbai.

Great driver and experience but not sure if it's worth going to it as it isn't that big than what I expected but if you have time then why not
Drive on time, the cave is beautiful from the 2nd century, well worth seeing
No car, no tour guide. Klook gave number of local agent but no one picked up calls. Wasted money and time to reschedule trip. Still waiting for refund and penalty from Klook.
