If you have a day to kill and you are new to Mumbai. You could probably plan a visit to Elephanta caves. This place is on an island, it can be only visited by boats operated from 'Gateway of India'.

The boat trip to the island is relaxing and good. The walk uphill throgh the path lined with stalls selling all sorts is hard work but good. The sculptures in the caves are very interesting and there are lots of monkes to watch running around.
