Sanjay Gandhi National Park, National park in Mumbai, India
The park covers 87 square kilometers of protected land within Mumbai's northern suburbs, containing two lakes that supply water to the city.
Established in 1942 as a hunting ground, the area gained national park status in 1990 and received its current name in honor of Sanjay Gandhi.
The Kanheri Caves within the park feature 109 Buddhist sculptures and meditation halls carved into basalt rock between the 1st and 9th centuries BCE.
The park remains open from sunrise to sunset, offering guided tours, nature trails, and boat rides on Vihar Lake for visitors throughout the year.
The protected area maintains a population of 47 leopards within an urban environment, making it the park with the highest density of leopards globally.
