you
must
plan
a
day
trip
to
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park.
As
many
attractions
here
close
over
lunchtime,
we'd
recommend
you
plan
your
trip
in
a
way
in
which
you
don't
have
to
head
back
disappointed.
We've
made
it
simpler
for
you-
here's
a
complete
guide
on
exploring
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park
and
what
all
must
be
on
your
itinerary
to
walk
out
at
the
end
feeling
great
about
spending
your
day
here.
Lion
And
Tiger
Safaris
If
you
think
that
the
National
Park
is
only
known
for
its
greenery,
caves
and
wild
trails,
you
are
highly
mistaken.
Being
one
of
the
protected
national
parks
of
this
country,
it
is
also
host
to
tigers,
lions
and
a
lot
of
other
wildlife
which
is
very
rare
(some
which
you
might
not
even
have
heard
of).
Take
a
mini
jungle
safari
in
a
closed
jeep
or
a
caged
bus
to
check
out
tigers
and
lions
in
their
natural
habitat-
the
jungle.
Experience
the
grandeur
of
these
wild
cats
roaming
freely,
in
person.
Safari
in
a
jungle
that
lies
in
the
middle
of
a
city
definitely
sounds
like
a
lot
of
fun!Β
Pro-Tip:
The
queue
to
buy
the
tickets
on
the
spot
may
take
up
to
almost
one
hour
on
a
weekend.
Timings:
9am
to
4.30pm
Price:
Combined
tiger
and
lion
safari
costs
INR
98
for
adults.
Go
On
A
Trek
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park
also
offers
some
spectacular
treks
and
nature
trails
that
you
can
embark
on.
The
park
has
a
lot
of
natural
trails
and
treks
that
happen
here
regularly
β
in
groups,
or
by
solo
trekkers.
One
of
the
most
popularΒ trek
is
the
one
from
the
main
gate
to
Kanheri
caves
(itβs
a
7km
trail).
There
are
also
at
least
30
kinds
of
butterflies
that
can
be
spotted
here.
So
if
youβre
really
into
educating
yourself
about
the
flora
and
fauna
of
this
park,
Bombay
Natural
History
Society
(BNHS),
the
countryβs
leading
conservation
NGO,
organises
historical
natureΒ walks
regularly.
To
stay
on
top
of
these
walks,
just
look
them
up
on
the
internet
and
voila!
In
fact,
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park
itself
organises
a
lot
of
walks
and
workshops
and
talks
that
you
can
be
a
part
of,
for
a
very
nominal
fee
(if
at
all).
Go
Cycling
If
you've
been
meaning
to
get
out,
get
fit
and
cycle,
but
just
don't
know
which
road
to
ride
on,
head
straight
to
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park
where
you
can
ride
all
the
way
up
to
Kanheri
Caves
through
SNGP
itself.
However,
if
you're
looking
for
an
even
better
route,
start
riding
to
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park
from
Aarey
Milk
Colony,
as
early
in
the
day
as
possible.
You
can
cross
over
Powai
Lake
to
get
to
the
Western
Express
Highway
which
will
lead
you
to
the
national
park.
A
lot
of
cycling
groups
organize
meetups
over
the
weekend
and
yes,
you
can
be
a
part
of
them!
Check
out
the
Mumbai
Cycling
Group
on
Facebook
that
organizes
cycle
trails
and
meetups
with
fellow
cyclists
and
posts
about
them
on
social
media
too,
so
you'll
always
be
in
the
loop
of
what's
being
planned.
Row
A
Boat
Once
you're
in
through
the
main
gate
of
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park,
as
you
walk
ahead,
you
will
spot
a
small
lake
that
has
boats
moored
onto
the
side.
If
you
want
to
experience
some
peace
and
quiet,
just
rent
a
boat
and
peddle
away
to
glory!
While
it
is
a
major
attraction
for
kids
and
families
alike,
plan
a
boating
getaway
with
your
better
half
and
trust
us,
they
won't
be
disappointed.
Explore
The
Beautiful
Kanheri
Caves
Deep
inside
the
park,
are
the
beautiful
ancient
Buddhist
caves,
Kanheri
Caves.
These
caves
provide
a
rich
Buddhist
history
β
from
the
carvings
on
the
wall
to
the
beautiful
statues
and
tombs
that
still
stand
there.
It
is
perfect
for
a
beginner's
trek
and
if
you're
in
the
mood
for
some
cultural
exploration.
Pro-Tip:
Sanjay
Gandhi
National
Park
is
closed
on
Mondays.
Spend
A
Night
In
A
Pine
Hut
As
you
close
in
on
the
route
that
takes
you
to
the
lion
safari,
keep
your
eyes
open
for
a
tiny
pine
hut
that
rests
on
your
right.
Yes,
that's
right.
It's
cute,
cozy
and
you
can
spend
a
night
here.
As
there
is
only
one
pine
hut,
you
will
have
to
plan
your
stay
here
much
in
advance
and
the
entire
pine
hut
can
be
yours
for
the
night
for
only
INR
7,000
and
it
can
accommodate
upto
5
people
easily.
Wake
up
to
the
birds
chirping
an
