Here’s the very famous location that all of Bombay goes to for their weekend. But if one is open enough to lose their inhibitions and simply wander into the jungle then they are in for a treat to seeing a different kind of beauty within the busy city itself.

Another cliché place that is spoken about a million times by many but visited by a few. Head here to try out the short 10-15 min Vipassana session to gain an insight into the way of like of meditation and being with oneself.

Another hidden gem inside the bustling city. You will see many people walking on the concrete paved roads and think that even this place has been taken over by them. Little do people know the vast jungle they are offered to explore when one intends to venture a little deeper and explore extensively.

Located in Navi Mumbai, very close to where the Palm Beach Road ends near Belapur / Kharghar. Been used in a movie for some interesting shots as well. It’s a good ride for a beginner to handle the curves and get an essence of what hills have to offer.
