Jogeshwari Caves

What people say, in short
People recommend Jogeshwari Caves as a working temple and as a way to show Mumbai's non-colonial historical side. Two commenters single the caves out for photography, and one used to go there to walk around and chill, though it is now more crowded than before. The main caveat is that the caves are hard to find, hidden among dense housing near the Western Express Highway, so one visitor advises asking locals for directions.
