About Bhaja Caves
Located near Malavli railway station on the route to Lohagad, Bhaja Caves date back to the 2nd century BC. They are notably more peaceful than Karla and contain a unique outdoor cluster of 14 carved rock stupas honoring ancient Buddhist monks. During monsoons, a natural mountain waterfall cascades directly beside the cave stairway.
