Mumbai

Mumbai

Mumbai runs on its trains, and the fastest way to stop being a tourist here is to work out which line you need and get on it. The stretch people photograph without knowing what it is runs from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus down to Oval Maidan: Victorian Gothic on one side, Art Deco on the other, facing each other across the park. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is best walked at seven in the morning when the light is low and the traffic has not started. Skip the crush at the Gateway of India unless you are taking the ferry to Elephanta, which is worth a half day for the rock-cut Shiva in cave one. Instead go to Banganga tank in Walkeshwar — a stepped water tank in the middle of the richest neighbourhood in India, almost always empty of visitors. Monsoon, June to September, is when the city is most itself and most difficult. The rain is genuinely heavy, the trains flood, and locals will tell you both that it is beautiful and that they dread it. Both are true. November to February is the easy window.

Shirdi

Shirdi

Shirdi is one of India's most visited pilgrimage towns, the home of the revered saint Sai Baba, who preached love, tolerance and the unity of all faiths. The Samadhi Mandir enshrining his tomb draws tens of millions of devotees of every religion each year.

Ellora Caves

Ellora Caves

The Ellora Caves are a group of 34 rock-cut shrines carved into the basalt cliffs of the Charanandri Hills near Aurangabad. Stretching over two kilometres, they bring together Hindu, Buddhist and Jain temples cut between the 6th and 10th centuries CE — a rare place where all three faiths sit side by side. The centrepiece is Cave 16, the Kailasa Temple: the largest monolithic rock-cut structure in the world, carved top-down from a single cliff. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of basalt were removed to reveal a multi-storey temple with carved pillars, life-size elephants and detailed galleries.

Ajanta Caves

Ajanta Caves

The Ajanta Caves are a world-famous group of 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments hidden deep inside a scenic horseshoe-shaped mountain gorge in Aurangabad district. Hand-carved meticulously out of vertical basalt cliff walls between the 2nd century BCE and 5th century CE, the site functioned as a peaceful monsoon sanctuary for monastic scholars. The caves were lost completely to human memory for centuries, completely swallowed by dense wild jungle foliage until their accidental rediscovery in 1819. The unique cave interiors are globally known for hosting the finest surviving masterpieces of ancient classical Indian wall fresco art. The paintings utilize distinct natural mineral pigments to portray complex Jataka tales and celestial figures with incredible emotional depth.
