I have been extremely lucky that I live close to National Park and have visited the caves since my childhood. This recent visit was with guided by Dr Suraj Pandit who has spent over 20 years researching on these caves and has even discovered some new caves. I hope this complex is one day declared as a World Heritage Site.
Situated within the national park is a archeological complex of some 160 rock-cut caves popularly known as the ‘Kanheri Caves’. The caves are carved from basalt rock and date from the 1st century BCE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri is derived from Sanskrit word Krishnagiri, which literally means black mountain. Visitors can view the magnificent relics of Buddha and the Bodhisattvas and walk along the pillared corridors of the prayer halls chiseled out in the rocky outcrop. There is also an ancient water storage and management system for hermits who used to live in the caves, which is worth studying and emulating in modern times. BEST bus and Private Omni Available from Main Entrance of SGNP 10Rs per person to reach at this place.

This Place is very ancient and historical background are seen here. There are lots of steps over there.You may need tickets to go visit this place.
Good place to visit, in rainy season it's give you more enjoyment and nice view...
For going to Kanheri caves one has to go through the national park. From there it is a 7km distance which can be covered by a vehicle or walking. Once done the beauty of the caves can be seen. There are various inscription and sculptures which can be seen. It's a pleasure to visit the place.
The sheer thrill to witness the past is simply amazing. Going through the 109 caves is like stepping into the time when these caves were created.
