Exploring the Nature Trails

Protected forest paths offer quiet hiking and birdwatching away from the main park crowds. You need a registered guide and special permits to access these areas.

The nature trails wind through dense vegetation and cover a protected zone that forms roughly 20% of Mumbai's geographical area. These routes allow you to see some of the park's 1,000 plant species and 250 bird species in their natural habitat.

Entering these restricted zones requires advance permission. You can arrange your permits at the Nature Information Center. Hiking these paths without a registered forest guide is strictly prohibited.
