Sanjay Gandhi National Park

About this Park

Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) is one of Mumbai’s most remarkable natural attractions and one of the few major national parks located within a large metropolitan city. Spread across a vast green landscape in the northern part of Mumbai, the park provides a peaceful escape from the city's busy urban environment. The park is known for its rich biodiversity, dense forests, lakes, hills and wildlife, including the famous leopard population, along with deer, monkeys, birds, butterflies and numerous other species. Its extensive natural surroundings make it a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers, hikers and families. One of the park's most important cultural attractions is the ancient Kanheri Caves, a complex of Buddhist rock-cut caves dating back many centuries. Visitors can explore the caves, inscriptions, sculptures and ancient architecture while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding forest. Visitors can also enjoy nature walks, trekking, cycling, birdwatching, wildlife experiences, photography and boating, depending on current park operations and seasonal availability. With its combination of wildlife, forests, trekking trails and ancient Buddhist heritage, Sanjay Gandhi National Park offers a unique experience where visitors can explore both Mumbai's natural environment and its historical past.
