Mumbai travel: Late afternoon Forest Walk to Shilonda

Keeping in mind the early sunrises, hot daytime temperatures, and late sunsets, Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivli, Mumbai has initiated guided nature treks starting late in the afternoon and culminating in the evening.

The trail starts as the air gets cooler and as birds and other animals go into a frenzy of activity before winding up their daily schedules and settling for the night. While the diurnal life forms wind themselves up, the nocturnal animals are about to begin their shifts and that adds to the fun as well.

These walks are designed in such a way that they will culminate on the Kanheri hills and offer the participants panoramic views of the 'city-forest' scape. SGNP's naturalists will further enhance the experience with interesting sightings as well as bits and pieces of natural history and nature information. Participants can get their own supply of cool lemonade or hot tea and coffee (in a thermos flask) as sun-downers.
