Located deep within the forest of Northern Bombay lies the highest point of the city, a well guarded enclave named Jambhulmal! A restricted area of the SGNP it is one of the best kept secrets of the city! The trek to this point begins from Kanheri Caves and goes right up to the peak, where splendid views of the entire forest await you.
Visible from top are also the lakes of Tulsi and Vihar along with other parts of the city! The trek is easy and passes through the core area of the forest. This enables a fantastic interaction with Mother Nature and her wonders. A wide variety of flora and fauna can be seen enroute. Some birding blogs recommend Jambhulmal for spotting raptors too!
The plan is simple
Gather at 0700 hours at SGNP, Borivali Main Gate on Sunday 18th August
From here, Omni vans will transport us to the caves from where the trek will begin. It's about a 2 hour climb to the top.
We should be back at the main gate by 1600 hours tops.
Cost: The total incidental cost should be anywhere between 300-400 including the official guide charges provided by SGNP(150-200), entry fees (33) and travel cost (70 to and fro)
This will be a Gift-Economy trip, - a Pay-What-You-Like trip and you may pay us accordingly or nothing at all!
To confirm your seat do call us up on 9820023362!
Kindly Note:
1. We recommend Action Trekking Shoes as most other gym/sports shoes give away to the rough terrain.
2. Carry at least 2 litres of water with you along with some dry snacks, fruits and a pair of change.
3. Consumption of Alcohol, Narcotic substances and cigarettes is prohibited and may lead to possible expulsion from the trek, and an early expulsion from Natural Habitat.
4. Windcheaters are recommended, avoid carrying umbrellas.
