Guided Forest Walk in Mumbai

Biodiversity Exploration Walk
Slow down. Look closer. Discover the hidden biodiversity of Mumbai's forests during the monsoon.
Join naturalist and researcher Meehir Pawar for a guided forest nature walk through one of Mumbai's richest green spaces. Explore forest trails while observing insects, spiders, birds, fungi, plants, and other fascinating wildlife that often go unnoticed.
This is a slow-paced, interpretive nature walk with frequent stops to observe, discuss, photograph, and appreciate the natural world around us. Rather than covering long distances, the focus is on understanding biodiversity, ecological interactions, and the stories hidden within the forest.
