Sanjay Gandhi National Park

Sanjay Gandhi National Park, earlier known as the Borivali National Park, lies near northern suburban Mumbai. The total area covered by this park is 104 sq. km, which encompasses Kanheri caves to the centre that were built between 2nd and 9th centuries. Besides, the park also has two lakes, namely Tulsi Lake and Vihar Lake, the deer park, the lion safari and the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi.

Characteristic of rich flora and fauna, the park is a delight for tree lovers as well as animal lovers. Being the nesting ground for a number of birds, it is also considered to be a bird watcher’s paradise. The park further provides a beautiful view of the hills, valleys, lakes and open spaces. Various school and college picnics are also conducted here.

Tourists can reach the park by means of road transport, comprising buses that ply from the city to the park daily, taxis or auto rickshaws. Just 2 km from the park is the Borivali station; hence, tourists can also opt to board a train.
