Borivali Wildlife Park
Spread in a small area of 104 sq km, the Borivali National Park offers an enjoyable change from the humdrum life of the metropolis. This virgin forest area is an perfect hangout for the picnickers, nature, bird and wildlife lovers. Borivili is a park for all seasons.
In summer the forest is enfolded in a riot of colors - gulmohur, flame- of the forest and flowering silk cotton trees overwhelm the entire area and during the monsoons the forest is a verdant paradise - a carpet of green with streams tumbling over boulder-strewn water courses. With the mini train, winding through the recreational area of the park, a lion safari park, a deer park and gardens, picturesque route, the park is the ideal place for picnics and there is a particular picnic area with stalls selling the well-known bhel-puri and pani-puri that Bombay is well known for. There is one lotus-studded lake on the Dahisar River where you can enjoy boating.
