Caves tour

Kishor was an excellent guide. I was travelling with work so I went on the tour solo He made sure I was comfortable and provided great education on the caves and the area. He was friendly and enthusiastic from start to finish and made sure I had plenty of drinks on a really hot day.

Shilonda Trekking Tour – A Peaceful Nature Escape

I recently joined the Shilonda Trekking Tour inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and it was an amazing experience! The trail was calm, surrounded by lush green forest, birds chirping, and the soothing sound of the stream along the way. Our guide Kishor was excellent — very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about nature. He explained the wildlife, plants, and history of the forest in a simple and interesting way. The pace of the trek was comfortable, and we had enough time to enjoy the views and take pictures. The Shilonda trail is perfect for beginners and nature lovers who want to explore Mumbai’s hidden forest world. It’s peaceful, safe, and beautifully maintained. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refreshing morning adventure close to the city!
