This park offers scenic views that will make you forget you are in the heart of a bustling metropolis. Trekking enthusiasts will love the numerous trails that lead to beautiful waterfalls, lush forests and various species of flora and fauna. Do not miss visiting the Kanheri Caves, which date back to the 1st century BCE. Pack a good pair of walking shoes, bottled water and some snacks to fuel up.
Get ready for an adrenaline rush by taking a day trip to Netrani Island. Located off the coast of Murudeshwara, it offers unmatched scuba diving opportunities.

For those with less time, you can either skip the overnight stay near Sanjay Gandhi National Park and take an early morning train instead, or you can choose to explore some of the popular tourist destinations such as the Gateway of India, Elephanta Caves, Juhu Beach, and Marine Drive.
