Popular monuments have got recognition as World Heritage Sites and find mention from the Archaeological Department of India. Karla Or Karle Caves is one of the few Buddhist Caves which attracts thousands of tourists every year and is a protected monument.
Karla Caves are Rock-Cut architectured first by the Buddhist Community from 2nd Century B.c to 5th-10th century.It is located in Karli Village, Lonavala,state Maharashtra.The most spectacular part of the caves to be mentioned is the grand Chaitya Griha and the most prominent of the remaining excavations.

It could have been really hard work to build them centuries ago.I have some pics which i had taken when i visited it along with my friends.
