The Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) is a green oasis encircled by a
wholly man-made landscapes. The park embraces a wide range of habitats - dry, cactus strewn rocky plateaus, miles of mix deciduous forest, pockets of semi-evergreen vegetation, the two sprawling reservoirs of Tulsi and Vihar, a mix of marshland and scrub and a mangrove creek.
Surprisingly the region has a wealth of biodiversity and rewarding nature walks can be enjoyed here. More than 800 species of flowering plants, nearly 300
species of birds are the park's chief attraction.
Join us at Nisarga Bhraman for the Trek / Hike to the 'Highest Point Trail' in core areas of SGNP on Sunday, 2nd November 2014.
About the Highest Point Trail: 'Jambhulmaal' is considered as the highest point in Mumbai City at the height of 846 feet above MSL. Covered by a dense forest and lies in the core area of SGNP, Jambhulmaal is carpeted with a lush herbage in monsoon. The trail is 2.5 Kms from the gate of Kanheri Caves. At the mountain top, a panoramic view of the forested Tulsi Valley and Tulsi and Vihar Lakes greets the eye.
