One of the best places to spend a day away from the city crowd and enjoy the archeological marvel created ages ago and which stood the test of time. A good view of the city and the distant sight of the Buddhist Pagoda can be seen from the top most point.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park is good. Better go during monsoon. Safari is just ok only through bus. Caves are good, almost 100 caves. View from top is just awesome.filled with history and serenity. Exploring the intricate carvings and Buddhist relics was a unique experience. If you're a history enthusiast or seeking tranquility amidst the bustling city, this place is a must-visit

Nice place to explore buddh sculptures. Avoid on sunny hot days and during afternoon as it will be difficult to explore while sun shining out high. Monsoon wearing is best or some shady day
Carry a lot water and stamina to explore heights and a lot of stairs

Embarking on the trail of nature with a friend was an absolute delight! The serene surroundings provided the perfect escape from life's hustle, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the tranquility of rustling leaves and shared laughter. The well-maintained trail and breathtaking scenery made every step a joyful adventure. Leaving stress behind, we cherished each moment like a timeless treasure. Highly recommend for those seeking a rejuvenating experience in the heart of nature!

These are caves from ancient times. Total 100+ caves. The arrangement and pathways are paved properly however do watch your steps. Overall good experience. Too crowded during monsoon and beware of monkeys. Weekends might be crowded. Early morning visit is best though I visited post 3 pm. Bus service is available inside national park which is easy mode of transport.

One of the famous Buddha caves in Borivali, Thane Maharashtra.
It was a great experience there.
We went by taxi to reach there. We have to purchase the tickets to enter the place. We will have to rent a cycle to reach the Buddha caves because it's too far from the entrance.
It's a great effort for a person to reach the caves, because of the roads with slops, bed roads etc. you will definitely get tired.

Reaching there is a great experience, how they have built caves in the earlier days in these stones, and the places they spent for meditation, the water sources etc
