 Early Morning at the National
Park by sushart
it's a great place to visit in the monsoons, when the place is amazingly green and dense with foliage, and an great variety of fauna. It is a bird watcher's paradise. There are some old caves to explore: the Kanheri Caves -
it is the biggest Buddhist monastic establishment on the Konkan coast. It is situated in the heart of the National Park and is one of the better-known sites in Mumbai.
The Film City is also in the area covered by the national Park. One could spend the day there, rubbing shoulders with the stars! Or maybe just being lucky enough to be part of the movie, in the background!!!
There is a Lion Safari, which is not really worth a try, unless you want to end up feeling sorry for the few straggly, starving lions who look at you through empty eyes.
It's a different view of the city. Who could imagine such a forested area in the middle of the concrete jungle??? Leave a Comment Other Contact: close to Borivali railway stn

 The beach by shobhanajLeave a Comment

 map by prasee
HOW TO GET THERE : Kashid is around 20 km south of Alibag and is on the way to Murud. From Alibag, take the road to Revdanda. This road will pass over a long bridge over the ocean. Immediately after crossing the bridge, turn right for Kashid. Instead of turning right, if you turn left and go for about a kilometre, you will reach the Vikram Vinayak Mandir (Birla Temple). This is a beautiful temple built of marble The scenery, as the road progresses further south from Korlai, sometimes hugging the shoreline, sometimes climbing up thickly wooded slopes and then climbing down again offering stunning glimpses of Kashid’s beach, rates a perfect ten.

 by wrldtravler
The 'City of Caves', on an island in the Sea of Oman close to Bombay, contains a collection of rock art linked to the cult of Shiva. Here, Indian art has found one of its most perfect expressions, particularly the huge high reliefs in the main cave.
The island was the capital of the powerful coastal kingdom and the excavations of the caves in the 6th century added to the glory of the kingdom. Later the Portuguese took possession of the island and as they first found a monolith elephant the island was named Elephanta.

For a few dollars you can have yourself carried in a Palanquin (sedan chair) up the steep stone staircase that leads to the entrance of the caves… or you can do as most, and walk it yourself, often stopping to catch your breath. No I didn't try it. It would have been fun, if not a little hair-raising, but I just couldn't do it. It seemed that no one else was brave enough or less self-concious to try it either when I was there.

 Juhu Beach during Monsoons by wrldtravler
This is a wonderful time to visit the Western Ghats (Mountain range running along India's western Peninsula, There are Eastern Ghats too)and the cute little hill-stations such as Mahabaleshwar, Panchgini, Lonavala , Khandala make great weekend and day get-aways. As a result of the rains there are numerous waterfalls along the mountain sides and the entire Ghats are a brilliant green. A must for Nature Lovers. Leave a Comment

At the other end of the pier are a few stalls selling handcrafts, souvenirs and refreshments as well as a few cafe’s for something more substantial. You will then see the stone stairs which meanders fairly steeply up to the top of the hill to where the caves are. Leave a Comment
