A 360-degree view at SGNP

LAST year my friends and I visited the Sanjay Gandhi National Park entrance in Borivali East, and hopped onto a shuttle to go to Kanheri Caves. For the more adventurous, there’s an option to rent bicycles. Once inside Kanheri, the trail map presents three routes for the trek along with the estimated time for each. Choosing the longest trail, a scenic hour-long journey unfolded, allowing us to explore ancient caves along the way. On reaching the summit, we were treated to a breath-taking 360-degree view. The weather, pleasantly breezy, complemented the rising sun. We sat down to soak in the views and fortunately for us, the viewpoint wasn’t very crowded. We concluded the walk with some refreshing lemon juice near the cave entrance. I highly recommend this experience as a city escape within the city, offering a perfect break from the urban chaos.
