If you have extra time, consider taking a day trip to the Matheran Hill Station, a stunning hill station with panoramic views and pleasant weather. Also, don't miss the flamingo bird watching at Sewri Bay during November. To maximize your fun, try local street food like vada pav, pav bhaji and chhole bhature. Lastly, carry a good insect repellent and sunscreen lotion as many nature parks have insects and are exposed to direct sunlight.
