Start your first day in the lush greenery of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. This park is home to over 270 species of birds and various animals, including leopards and tigers. Enjoy a morning safari and explore the Kanheri Caves, which are carved out of volcanic rocks in the middle of the jungle.
Start your second day with a challenging trek to Vikatgad, also known as Peb Fort. This historical fort offers a breathtaking view of the Sahyadri range and the Matheran range. The trek involves climbing steep rock-cut stairs, crossing rock patches, and walking through dense forests. You can also explore the caves and temples while you’re there.
Transportation in Mumbai can be challenging due to heavy traffic, especially during peak hours. It is recommended to take a taxi or a rental car for both days. The estimated cost for transportation throughout the trip is ₹3000-₹4000, depending on the rental car and the taxi services.
If you have more time, consider exploring the Elephanta Caves, located on an island in Mumbai Harbour. Alternatively, you can spend an evening at Marine Drive, also known as the Queen's Necklace, and enjoy the breathtaking view of the sunset. If you have less time, consider skipping the trek to Vikatgad and spending more time at Sanjay Gandhi National Park, or exploring the Gateway of India, one of Mumbai’s most famous landmarks.
