Borivali National Park is the miraculously preserved green oasis in the center of urban sprawl. This national park is "one of the very few" that is surrounded by a metropolis like Mumbai, yet sustaining sizable population of big cats like Panthers. It is hard to believe that the Park is within within just less than an hour and half from Gateway of India, one is transported from hectic and fast life of Mumbai city to a serene and tranquil atmosphere of pleasing verdant wilderness. This city forest is remarkable because of its location and rich biodiversity it hosts. Besides, the forests of SGNP and surrounding forests are vital catchments as they supply drinking water to the city of Mumbai.
