Kanheri Caves, Sanjay Gandhi National Park & Mumbai's Wild Side

Sanjay Gandhi National Park (the 104-square-kilometre national park within the Mumbai metropolitan area in the northern suburbs — one of the only national parks in the world entirely contained within a megacity, home to approximately 40-50 leopards that occasionally emerge into the surrounding suburbs at night): the park is not only a critical wildlife habitat (supporting tigers until the 1970s, and currently supporting leopards, spotted deer, sambar, barking deer, jackals, hyenas, and over 250 bird species) but also contains the Kanheri Caves — the largest Buddhist cave complex in the Mumbai region.
