Atop the Kanheri Caves Traditional Cache

The Kanheri Caves constitute a group of rock-cut monuments that are located to the north  of Borivali on the western outskirts of Mumbai, India. 

Located within the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the caves are 6 km from the main gate and 7 km from Borivali Station. Tourists can enter after 7:30 a.m. The Kanheri Caves demonstrate the Buddhist influence on the art and culture of India. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain. They were chiseled out of a massive basaltic rock outcropping The cache is on the extreme top of the hill from where you can get a fine view of the Mumbai skyline.  Please bring a pen as the small plastic cache container has enough room only for a log.
