Today im visiting Sanjay Gandhi National Park |Borivali National Park
Sanjay Gandhi National Park, is an 87 km² protected area in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It was established in 1969 with its headquarters situated at Borivali. The 2400-year-old Kanheri caves, sculpted by monks out of the rocky basaltic cliffs, lie within the park.
Overall, unless you want to walk 6+ kms or cycle on a hot day(which it will be on most days in Mumbai) there are no easy options. Worth seeing !! This beautiful national park spread over 103 square kilometers is the only one in the world located within a city.
The 2400-year-old Kanheri caves sculpted by monks out of the rocky basaltic cliffs lie within the park. The rich flora and fauna of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park attract more than 2 million visitors every year.
The Kanheri caves, located centrally in the park, were important Buddhist learning centres and pilgrimage sites sculpted by Buddhist monks between the 9th and the 1st centuries BCE.They were chiselled out of a massive basaltic rock outcropping.[6] In 1996, the park was renamed to its current title, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, after Sanjay Gandhi. The same year, some forests from the Thane division were merged into the park, further expanding its total area to 103.84 km2 (40.09 sq mi).
