The forest is a great place to explore, and you can also engage in activities like horse riding, cycling, and trekking. In the afternoon, visit the nearby 80-feet tall Guna Caves. These deep and dark caves are believed to have been used as a hideout by the renowned Kollywood movie, 'Guna'! In the evening, head to the Green Valley View Point to enjoy the stunning sunset and valley view.
