It seems incredible that so much greenery and tranquillity can dwell within one of the most populated and crowded cities in India. Within 90 minutes of the city of Mumbai, one finds the Sanjay Gandhi National Park that has defied the norm and has managed to sustain itself, its peace and serenity undisturbed by the surrounding hustle and bustle and pollution.
Also known as the Borivali National Park, the area is a ravishing landscape of distant hills, azure skylines merging in the distant with brimming lakes and thick jungle melting into a green hue faraway on every side. It is the haunt of many a wildlife animal, beautiful butterflies that romp among the semi evergreens, endangered species of mammals who traverse in herds and a range of exotic flowers and plant life that grows in abundance especially during the monsoon season. The region is a nook of serenity that invites deep meditation and pleasant reverie. The silence is only broken by the gushing of the waters or the whispers of the trees as a breeze passes them by or the pleasant early morning chatter of the birds before they leave for work.
In addition to its dense forestry the park possess the additional attractions of the Kanheri Buddhist caves that can astonish a visitor with their creation that has resulted from sculpting out of a sheer rock. There are a whole cluster of them scattered across the hills and contains impressive Buddhist statues. Changing the mood of the peaceful serenity, one can partake in a lion or tiger safari for which the park is famous for.
