Maharashtra Nature Park (formerly commonly known as Mahim/Dharavi Nature Park) is a beautiful manmade forest in the midst of the city. You can reach here from Sion railway station (walking-12min). A well-maintained nature park with Information centre, amphitheatre. Affordable entry tickets. Ideal place for nature lovers or simply sending time in the calm, amid the chaos in the city. Recommended for college & school students for studying biodiversity. It has a butterfly garden, astral garden, medicinal plant garden apart from the main jungle trail. Also you can buy a variety of saplings at nominal prices from the nursery here.

Mumbai being a mega city brings chaos also along with other many positive things.. and this Amazing park will help you to throw that chaos out in the wind of this Lovely Park..So take a deep Breath full of pure oxygen to fill your starved lungs. Got tempted...Well you better be.. This is the place to help you unwind with your frndz n family while learning something amazing about Nature, You start with a ticket bought from a very neat n clean Govt. Office ( Surprised..!!) ticket cost ₹20/person & ₹30/Vehicle if you prefer your own driving in Mumbai's frustrating traffic. There's a Toilet/Amphitheater/Creativity zone..right in the office Complex/building. Once you are out in the Open..simply follow the Trail (Nature's)...will take you via a lake n a Mithi River (Sore)view..cause you can still see the garbage flowing...though cleaning it SO MANY TIMES Back to the Nature's trail... Just keep following will see many different variety of trees but mostly like Banyan type n Bamboo. If you are lucky then may be you can see some naughty Squirrel or lovely Bird and...and Snake tòó. There's a nursery here selling any Plant with a bata rate ₹20/plant... Go for it..reorganize your Balcony space to place them right there.

Only came to know when my Better half (a Professor) tòók her students for a study tour here.. n by the way..you have to pay ₹500/tour/group. So enjoy the Nature though ...there's a lot of scope to improve n make it truly Amazing experience for the kids in you.. Well...don't forget to take a peek at the Pics n video...which shows..i did have a good time here. *24th Nov 2022

A place to relax your mind... What is there to watch... Main attraction is lot of variety of Butterflies. Take camera with you and you will forget time. There is little pond, where you will see turtle, snakes.. Be aware of snakes freely roaming in the area. Wear full ankle shoes and watch your steps. A small trail. This place is located near Bandra creek, so you can watch lot of waders, but you have bear smell. Do not go far way, as lot of druggist will be there in remote part. How to Go: you can get down at Sion station..it is walking distance from this station. If you going by road, it is near to Dharavi Bus Depot. There is no parking facility Timing: starts at 8:30 in morning to 15:30...little late if you want watch birds... However you can coordinate with their admin on email id if you want to enter early. Entry fee: last time we visited, it was around 20/-.. Camera charges 100 INR... What to wear : as usual wear full sleeve cloths with ankle length shoes.

The beauty of this park is unmatched. It has a nature trail, butterfly park, amphitheatre, nursery and a lake. It is in the middle of a bustling area. An ex garbage ground! Parking is available at Gate 3 (first gate when you turn from LBS road) Plants at the nursery are all prices at 20 bucks. Some of these plants are available outside for 400 bucks! One can easily spend 2-3 hours here.

A green oasis in the middle of the city. This is difficult to locate as it is difficult to believe that it could be near Dharavi. Luckily it has not fallen prey to the builder and BMC mafia. Entry ticket is not very steep and good to get children. Timing up to 3.30 pm. Rainy season is the best to visit. Unfortunately as we don’t know to respect our rivers the mithi is seen and stinks in some areas. It would have been a great asset to the city had the riverfront been maintained. There is a small nursery as well which you get good cheap saplings.

It's an amazing place which has ample amount of nature. There are large number of plants are trees over there.🌳 There are butterfly park which has many types of butterflies.🦋 Their is a pond over there, Bird watching area. Entry fees 20₹ per person, if you are taking a camera with you then you should pay 100₹ charge, mobile photography is free. Timing is from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. I have provided a map in the image which you can also get from location 👍. 8-10 minutes of walking from Sion station.

Maharashtra lies just south of Gujarat. Mumbai is the capital of the state. Marathi is the main language of the people, though they also speak konkani. Mumbai is the largest seaport of India. The city is also an important centre for trade and industrial. In Maharashtra, many types of crops, vegetables and fruits are grown. Large deposit of petroleum are expected from the sea bed Called Mumbai High. Mumbai have many parks....

A huge park with loads of information about trees, flowers and birds....also has a water reservoir.....take ur kids along! Guides are available.....pls take them along

Wonderful place, it’s great to see what the government can do when they put their mind to it. A dumping ground transformed into a beautiful park. The nature interpreters are really knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the office staff are polite, helpful, supportive, enthusiastic and really interested in popularising the place, they have a corporate mentality and attitude, not at all what one would expect government officials to be. A great place to go to for some excellent birding, immersing oneself in nature and generally having a great time.

Great place for nature lovers. Walking trail is absolutely lovely with many butterflies. Education center is good with many facilities. I have been to terranium workshop conducted there. They also have bird photography, butterfly trails, nature trails and rare tree and plants species trails conducted from time to time. Great education center for school kids.

Staff is very good. Place is very peaceful. Never thought such amazing place we normal Mumbaikar can see in middle of Sion. Must visit this place. ❤️

The place is nice inside but outside is very filthy. Lots of saplings and properly named with information plants. Entry charges are 20/- per person. Peaceful n fresh feeling (inside) but it is surrounded by a not so good river in the north side and lot of garbage trucks in the south. The best way to reach is to take a cab from mahim WEST.

Small forest in the middle of Mumbai! Good place for Plants, Butterflies and Bird enthusiasts.

Must visit lots and lots of variety of plants flowering plant and various herb.. at very low cost...

Very beautiful place and quite well maintained. A pure green patch right in the middle of the city. Birds, Butterflies, Flowers etc. Everything beautiful is present there.

We attended a nature walk organized by the park on the occasion of bird week. The naturalist Mr Prashant was excellent and spotted many resident and migratory birds for us. There are kingfishers, myna, sunbirds, koel, parakeets, flycatchers, Golden Oriol, eagles and water waders like red shank, sandpiper, Stilts, terns, black headed gulls . There are many butterflies as well. We spotted a rattle snake as well. It was good experience.

A peaceful place in the Chaos of Mumbai. This place has varities of plants and flowers. You can see different types of butterflies flying around you. Very informative place, well maintained. If you're a student of botany or related to botany in any manner this place is heaven for you.

Amazing to find such a peaceful and beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. 100Rs entrance for foreigners, 20Rs for Indians. You can easily spend a couple of hours following the nature trail through the woods. The river is sadly polluted, but I still saw a crocodile slip into the waters. I don't know much about birds, but even I managed to spot a white-tailed paradise flycatcher, golden oriole and greater coucal. What a lovely place - very much worth a visit for some peace.

Opp Dharavi Bus depot. The access is lined with garbage trucks and gives no clue to the beauty inside. Bear with the access and inside you will see a green Haven, heaven. You can buy plants from nursery. Park timings are 8.30 AM to 3.30 PM & entry fee @Rs20/ per person.

The park's efforts in promoting environmental awareness and sustainability are commendable. One potential downside is that due to its popularity, the park can get crowded during peak hours and weekends, which might reduce the overall tranquility of the experienceMaharashtra Nature Park offers a refreshing and educational escape within the city, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking a brief retreat from the urban chaos

The Maharashtra nature park is a nice place to visit and there is snakes and many more you can go and see the peaceful place where you can hear chirping of birds and it's really very quiet place and you will feel relaxed after visit. So go visit n explore the place

This was my first visit. I enjoyed the Nature Trail eventhough I walked half of it (from Main Office via Nursery) with capturing snaps. Near future I will take other half. Staff is helpful & courteous. Very good efforts & pains taking for maintaining it.

This park is very nice and well maintained you will get a good nature's exposure. To enter this park you have to buy tickets and it costs around 20rupees not sure about current price. This place is 15-20 min walkable distance away from Sion station.

Nice place to visit, but be careful while moving as many snakes are roaming here and there.

This place is Paradise in the concrete jungle. Cute little getaway to spend some time with birds and butterflies and trees. They have many workshops and lecture series that are interesting,. Head to their office to know more. They have sessions like photowalk, butterfly lifecycle and many more. Take small kids here to learn about nature. This park is reclaimed from a dumping ground, so it's a marvel in itself..

It's really beautiful park. Good for kinds and youngster too. One can by plants from here too at 10 to 20 rps. It's best place to see birds, plants, migratory bids too. MNPS has developed very good water harvesting system. Even one pond also has made by there staff.

Nice place

It is great place for bird watching. It is best for school educational trips. It is better if you hire a guide alongwith you as he shares all the information with you and also helps in bird spotting. It is easily visiboe from traffic. You can take a bus from Bandra station or also a taxi to reach the place. It is best to go there in the morning.

Very much peace. Take a break and visit this place, you will love watching various birds, especially in month of January many migratory birds visit here including many seagulls. If you have a camera you will love this place. Even plant nursery near no. 1 gate you can find various plants at low rate.

Unbelievable that there is a mini jungle in the city. Nice walk down the nature trail. But , I guess going around 8.00 am would be much better. We went at 12 noon. But enjoyed our walk

They sell organic vegetables/fruits every Sunday probably between 10 to 3. There is even music around and you can enjoy some organic snacks/lunch :)

Well maintained and informative about plants, different butterfly species...kids lovable place

It's a wonderful place just next to BKC , a superb place to refresh your lungs with good fresh air, you get a feel of the jungle right in the heart of Bandra Kurla vicinity

Well maintained space. Was attending a butterfly walk led by Anand Pendharkar, SPROUTS. The information was very clear and alot of take backs! A good combination of Native and exotic sps where planted here for attracting butterflies.

A mild forest with a walk trail. Lots of trees. A forest feel. Included a nursery, fruit plants, butterfly garden, rainwater harvesting pond, etc. Entry fee 20 rs per person.

Good respite from hustle and bustle of mumbai. Good variety of flora and fauna as well as a lovely butterfly section to visit. We went as a family with young kids and they enjoyed exploring and taking in the nature. A little revamp of the dinning option would be well deserved. Please note that you can book a guide the day before, for a nominal charge and have a much more educational visit.

It has a very beautiful, calming, and relaxing environment. There are Various Species of Plants and Butterflies. Has a very calming flora and fauna. It has a walk trail throughout the park surrounded by Trees.

Never knew we have another national park in mumbai its really nice . Students can learn a lot about different trees,plants,flowers and lot more.The guide there is very knowledgeable who will help you throughout.They also have a nursery where you can buy plants at a very reasonable price

Greatly maintained place... You can't identify that this river side area was a dumping ground for urban waste... Good work by all who helped to made this You can find varieties of tree here, only if you belongs to urban areas. Most of this tree you can find in countryside's. If you are here to see Birds, all the best! In migration period more or less birds came over

It's very calm, beautiful and you can spot many birds . It's a treat to the eyes in in city of Mumbai

Maharashtra Nature Park Or Sion Nature Park Is One And The Same... The Nature Park Is Fully Man Made Jungle You Can Visit And Can Explore The Beauty Of Nature There Are Many Medicinals Plant Over Here And Many Types Of Bird and Butterfly May Can See.. Personal Suggestion Must Visit With Family And Friend Ticket Cost is Just 5rs.

Various type of trees, medicinal trees, shrubs plants were to be found here. Mithi river was observed, different kinds of birds were seen and a rain harvesting project was also built up.. One of the best educational tour and eco tour for kids and elders too.

Park timing: 8:30am to 3:30pm Entry ticket price: 20 rs this is an excellent place to have a view of nature. it is well placed in middle of City Mumbai. there is also a plant nursery available here.. where in you can purchase plants in cheaper rate. Small childrens from several schools gather here yearly to explore the place.

Good place for photography and learning photography. A lot of birds snakes spiders and butterflies to watch and enjoy.

Lovely place.... Too many butterflies... Took my child there so that he connects with nature and plays freely.... They have different workshops, nature trails and bird watching events happening... It's better to go for a nature trail with an expert to explore the place...There is a nursery where one can buy variety of plants at dirt cheap prices...(starting from Rs 10...)...However, the staff is not good and least interested in showing you the plants....PS got to see some interesting mushrooms

Nature Park

A cool forest in the city

Must visit the plantation

PU buffing

It is good for photo nd tiktok shoot

Nestled in the middle of the city, right besides Dharavi, is a quaint restored garden. The place is a clear surprise and a very green patch of land. It is a delight for those who just want to have a good morning walk or be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The place is a paradise for those interested in butterflies and birds. There is a special section to attract butterflies. They also have a small nursery where you can buy good quality saplings of flowers or medicinal plants at a very affordable rate.

Forest in city. Well maintained.

Buddhade mandal

Beautiful

Rules and timing are very strict.Well you can't click a photo if the guide is with you.Tik Tok people at the side are totally annoying.

Nice place for seeing nature demo

I visited this place with Nikon Team for a photography workshop. They advertise about beautiful birds and butterflies. But we could only see butterflies over there not birds. Overall it is an ok place for a one time visit, but not that great as it is advertised.

Very good educational place for the kids. The age group should be a little older as there is a lot to walk and to see and understand. You can also buy plants here at very cheap rate but please carry a bag for the plants as they don't provide u with one.

Next to busy Dharavi and once a garbage dump, is converted into a nature park. Has many different varieties of plants and attracts many species of birds and buttrflies. Mithi river along side of park, you can see many migratory birds during winter. One should visit it severaltimes during different seasons to see its charm.

Also known as maharashtra nature park, Had been here for fun with nature activity for kids. Good event and a nice place for short break from the cement jungle within a cement jungle. They also arrange flower show nature trails periodically so keep a watch on the activities here.

Very knowledgeable place for kids to get knowledge from nature

One can observe different varieties of trees, plants, insects.....

Wonderful nature spot in the middle of Mumbai...lots of fauna and insects seen during the monsoon season and birds in winter...a lung for Mumbai....

Good one

Beautiful butterfly

Very very nice

Very nice place

Lovely place.

Nice place visit at least one time

Fantastic place And very cool guides

Have you heard of a Nature Park in Mumbai other than National Park. This is it. Vide variety of Birds are found here. Butterflies are in abundance. Bring your kids here this summer to get closer to Nature. Opens 8.30am

Awesome place

Nice and cozy place in Mumbai

Truely blissful place amidst the concrete Mumbai

Very good place for seeing nature

Greenery

Mahim Nature park has a lot of trees

A wonderful place created on dumping yard after efforts and now turned into heaven for butterflies, so many medicinal plants, back side has the mithi river which is really filthy but attracts many waders(birds) Must visit once also recently it got renovated and has amazing drawings made of endangered animals, butterflies and many more 🌿💯🌈

A wonderful nature park in the midst of a mega city. Unfortunately Not maintained well enough to attract tourists. The authorities are not even promoting this place.

Lovely place

An example of how if there's will, environment restoration can be made possible.

Not so good. Adjacent to dumping. Smell horrible. Good for walking n no seating arrangements. Good nursery available.

It is good experience , butterfly 🦋 so so beautiful , cleaning also good , nursery also nice ,good arengment.

A very nice small nature park to visit in the city . It will take you around 2 -3 hours to see the whole park . The butterfly garden is the highlight you get to see such pretty butterflies in the morning. There is also a nursery where you can buy plants for a very cheap price. Best time to go is 8. 30 am .

Best place for nature study and view butterfly , spider and flora and fauna

Such a beautiful place in heart of city with lots of bio diversity. Butterflies, birds, trees, herbs, etc

A lot of animals were lost during Covid pandemic, hence you see many empty cages. They are slowly rebuilding the facilities.

It was good but in the natural trail there is no place to sit so please make them i wanted to explore everything but My legs started paining there was no place for rest in natural trail .

Loved the butterfly 🦋 park the variety of butterflies flying They should open the lake and start boating or other adventure activities around it to boost footfall More flowering plants can be added It could be improved by adding a small museum or some nature activities

Pleasantly surprised by the variety of wildlife we saw when we went out around 9 am in early November: cobra, parrots, egrets, iguanas and every size and color of butterflies. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a green fix in the area. Might take an hour to walk all the paths. They also have a nice presentation of plants and trees.

Maharashtra Nature Park (MNP) has developed on an erstwhile garbage dumping ground and manmade forest surrounded by the natural ecosystem of the mangrove forests of Mithi River. In the year 1983, the world-famous ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali was first to plant a sapling at MNP and thereafter, with the help of school and college going students planted the saplings and nurturing them till they become trees. 22 April 1994 - Vasundhara Divas (World Earth Day), MNP was declared open to the people. In the world of Concrete, now we can see Mini manmade forest inclues Butterflies, small Mammals, Reptiles, Insect, Trees, Flowers many more.

Hardly what one would expect right in the middle of the city, but the Maharashtra nature park does not disappoint. It is truly a marvel. Plenty to see, with a wide variety of flora and fauna.

NEVER VISIT THIS PLACE ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY..IT'S SHUT The place is good but staff is very rude especially the nursery staff, they're absolutely disinterested. They do not cooperate at all. They never pick up the call..visited this place after travelling for 2 hours and we weren't allowed to visit since it was public holiday, totally disappointed.

Maharashtra Nature Park offers a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts, boasting a diverse population of butterflies and insects that adds vibrancy to its ecosystem. The park's commitment to biodiversity is evident, creating an environment conducive to the flourishing of these delicate creatures. Moreover, the park proves to be a haven for shore birding enthusiasts, providing a tranquil setting for observing these fascinating birds in their natural habitat. Maharashtra Nature Park stands as a commendable destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of insect diversity and a rewarding shore birding experience.

Such a big park in Mumbai, it's self explanatory as all trees are marked out with name nd species , on Sunday afternoon the park was empty, clean restrooms , no kids play area, a dirty pond, no seating arrangements.

Never imagined such a beautiful, green spot in the heart of Mumbai. Fortunate enough to watch many species of birds, plants, butterflies, etc. Thanks to the guide/mentor who introduce to all these things. Wonderdul trail. Must visit.

Beautifull place to carry out birding and spotting butterflies and many other insects
