“Sanjay Gandhi National Park covers 103.84 km2 and is divided into three sub-areas: a buffer, a tourist area, and a core area. It has 1,000 varieties of plant species, 251 species of migratory, land, and water birds, 5,000 species of insects, 40 species of mammals, 38 kinds of reptiles, 150 species of butterflies and a large variety of fish. This flourishing green has immense geographic, historical, ecological and imaginative significance. The park provides a Van Rani toy train service, one of the oldest attractions. The 2000-year-old Buddhist cave complex, Jain temple Trimurti is situated in the park; seven Buddhist caves older than the Kanheri Caves have been discovered very recently. There are several public walking trails in the national park. Buses are available on holidays and Sundays from Mumbai to the park.”
