Sanjay Gandhi National Park is a breath of fresh air amidst the chaos of Mumbai. A natural reserve, it houses a dense forest and plenty of wildlife. Take a guided safari tour or hike to Kanheri caves if you're up for an adventure.
The Elephanta Caves date back to the 5th and 6th centuries and are a UNESCO heritage site. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the cave complex has beautiful carvings and sculptures. Take a ferry ride from Mumbai's Gateway of India to the island and explore the caves.
Haji Ali Dargah is a mosque and tomb situated in the middle of the Arabian Sea and is connected to the mainland by a causeway. The stunning white structure has Islamic architecture and offers a peaceful view of the sea and Mumbai’s skyline.
Juhu Beach is a world-famous beach and a must-visit for all sea lovers. Take a stroll on the sandy beach, enjoy Mumbai's street food, or watch the sunset from one of the seaside restaurants.
