Sanjay Gandhi National Park
Located on the outskirts of Mumbai, this national park serves as a large urban natural retreat. Travellers visit the area for walking, nature exploration, and to observe local wildlife within the city limits.
Getting There
The park is accessible from Mumbai city centre via taxi or auto-rickshaw. Depending on the starting point and traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
Duration of Visit
Visitors should allow at least half a day to explore the main areas. Those planning to trek or visit deeper sections of the park may require a full day.
