Formerly known as Borivali National Park, this 87 square kilometers (8700 hectares) protected area on the northern outskirts of Mumbai provides a fresh breath to this congested megapolis. Originally planned as a wildlife retreat outside Mumbai, most of its area still remains wild but breathtakingly beautiful. It is filled with dense forests and picturesque lakes. The highlights of the park are the several animal species, like the hyena, four-horned antelope, panther, deer, and leopard, along with plenty of fauna, making it a birdwatcher's paradise with over 274 species. You can enjoy the Lion Safari Park inside or take a ride on the toy train. Home to the Buddhist Kanheri caves, the national park is a favorite among outdoor lovers in the city.

Imagine a blooming nature park built on a dumping ground right in the middle of a metropolis. Well, that's exactly how Mahim Nature Park was developed.

It is home to a variety of flora and fauna.It is a hot spot for bird watchers from mid October to February. Regular nature trails as well as educational seminars and workshops are organized for the visitors. A guide will help you get acquainted with the park. The Maharashtra Nature Park Society provides a respite from the sweltering heat and pollution of Mumbai.Situated close to the Dharavi Bus Depot, this park is home to more than 200 species of trees, 80 species of birds, and about 40 varieties of butterflies. The Park also has an amphitheater and conducts educational programmes to spread awareness on environment protection. A visit around the park would introduce you to nature like you've never seen before, in the busy city of Mumbai. Although a beauty to explore, beware of snakes while you walk around the green pathways.
