An entire day tour to the Ancient Metropolis of Shurparaka or Nala Sopara 

Shurparaka was one of the most important ports on the western coast of India and has been active since the past 2500 years, if not more. 

Apart from the Buddha Stupa, which stands as the flagbearer of Sopara's heritage, there's much more to see. During the tour you'll get to delve into:-

1. Triveni Sangam 1 - Bauddha, Jaina and Hindu Heritage 

2. An ancient metropolis and port which traded with the world much much before modern Mumbai came into existence

3. Transition from Shurparaka as a predecessor of Mumbai to Sopara as a suburb of Mumbai

4. Understand how an archaeological exploration is conducted

5. Triveni Sangam 2 - Portuguese, Peshwa and British 

6. From the Mauryas to the Republic of India

7. Look at perhaps the oldest caves of Mumbai 

8. Array of sculptures that will make you skip a breath 

9. Treasures of the region including coins and pottery from India and the world 

10. Meals provided reflect the living heritage of the region

The tour will cover the ancient pre-colonial part of the region and will help break the misconception that the British and/or the Portuguese gave birth to Mumbai.
