City
Forest: Mumbai's National Park
Tour Mumbai. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park is a tropical wilderness
within the limits of Mumbai, virtually unknown to most people
outside the city. A protected area of almost 9,000 hectares,
the park is fringed by a burgeoning population of more than
twelve million people and is possibly India's most visited nature
reserve. With over 200 stunning photographs, City Forest: Mumbai's
National Park is a visual celebration of the forest's remarkable
biodiversity, offering a glimpse into the secret world of its
wildlife. The park is home to 274 kinds of birds, just under
a quarter of India's avifuana; 42 kinds of mammals, of which
the most renowned is the elusive leopard; 150 species of butterflies
and nearly 8,000 species of other insects; and so much more.
It has a floral extravagance of nearly 800 species of flowering
plants from humble herbs and woody climbers to sturdy teak trees,
and a diversity of habitat types. A veritable field laboratory
teeming with an amazing variety of life forms, much of which
has yet to be documented, the forest is threatened by the inherent
problem of an encroaching population. An ideal getaway from
the polluted city, this peerless wilderness also provides people
with a unique opportunity for nature study.
Formerly called Bombay, Mumbai India, is known for its chaotic street scenes. Outdoor bazaars top the list of attractions, for the bargains and the people-watching. Popular waterfront destinations are Marine Drive, where visitors go to watch the sun set over the Arabian Sea, and the carnival-like Juhu Beach. More sightseeing options are the Gandhi Museum, in the leader's former home, and the cave temples of Elephanta Island. For tranquility, Mumbai has many religious sites, lakes and parks.
