Description

Step away from Mumbai’s busy streets and into its hidden green oasis. This guided experience takes you through Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a rare natural sanctuary inside a bustling city. Wander forest paths alive with birds, butterflies, and monkeys before reaching the Kanheri Caves — an extraordinary complex of over 100 Buddhist monuments carved nearly 2,000 years ago. Once a thriving center of learning and meditation, the caves feature prayer halls, monasteries, and intricate stone carvings that still echo with spiritual calm. Your guide will share stories of monks who lived here, the history of Buddhist culture in western India, and the surprising link between Mumbai’s wilderness and its urban identity. This is more than a sightseeing trip — it’s a journey into nature, history, and tranquility.
