Visit the nature gem of Mumbai, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a must-see destination for history buffs or archaeology aficionados on this day trip. Start the day with a hotel pickup, so you can simply sit and relax the drive in a private air-conditioned car to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Being a major national park located within a metropolis limit, Sanjay Gandhi National Park is one of the most visited parks in the world. You'll also visit one of the signature cultural heritage in the Kanheri Caves. First, you will visit the Kanheri Caves, a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt outcrop to worship Buddhism on the Sanskrit Krishnagiri (meaning Black Mountain) of the island of Salsette. Uncover Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings, and inscriptions, dating from the 1st century BC to the 10th century AD.  After a visit to the Kanheri Caves, head towards Global Vipassana Pagoda if you have selected the option that includes Pagoda, on a short ferry ride.
