Trek
into interiors of National Park
Day 1 - 6:30 AM at the gates on National Park Borivli.We walk with the guide
to the High Point, known as A1 point which is supposed to be the highest point
of Mumbai city at 1200 feet.
Guide will share his knowledge about the history and geography of the national park. We cover about 6 kms on way to the Kanheri caves from the main National Park gate. There are different options to get to the high point, one through the river, one through the dense forest etc. When we were about 1 km away from the Kanheri we take a diversion into the jungle and then we start our journey through the forest. Though there is a distinct trail, it was a route not used regularly, it seems.
After having trekked for about 2 hrs, we reach the high point. From this point we can see Mumbai partly, well almost whole of it. We can see the Tulsi lake, Vihar lake and Powai lake adjacent to one another. It is a beautiful sight. Far away we can even see the Powai - Hiranandani. Also to the left we see a mountain range with peaks, which is 'Mama (uncle), Bhanja ( nephew), Mulund top etc.
After having had a satisfying view we start our journey back, this time from a different route. That route will first take us to the Goumukh temple and ashram ruins. Its said that there was this temple and ashram,
After a break we restart out journey which take us to the back side of Kanheri, which overlooks a huge valley. There are cliffs which are overhangs and there are fittings put in for. Chauffeur awaits here with the car and Drives us back .
