Sanjay Gandhi Park
A Green Escape in the Heart of Mumbai – Wildlife, History & Nature Trails
Sanjay Gandhi National Park offers wildlife, caves, and peaceful nature trails for all ages.
Spanning over 87 square kilometers, Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) is one of Asia’s most visited national parks, nestled within the bustling city of Mumbai. Located in the suburb of Borivali, this lush forest offers a rare blend of rich biodiversity, tranquil landscapes, and ancient heritage. The park is home to over 250 species of birds, leopards, deer, monkeys, and butterflies, making it a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Its well-marked trails, dense green cover, and scenic lakes provide the perfect escape for nature lovers, joggers, and families.
A major highlight within the park is the Kanheri Caves—a group of over 100 rock-cut Buddhist caves dating back to the 1st century BCE. These caves served as monasteries and meditation centers for Buddhist monks. The park also offers toy train rides (Vanrani), cycling tracks, boating, and guided nature walks. Whether you’re seeking spiritual calm, outdoor adventure, or a history lesson carved in stone, Sanjay Gandhi National Park delivers an immersive experience right within city limits.
