This park has a lot to offer tourists in various times of the year. It would be very tough to suggest any one time of the year as the most appropriate time for a visit. Indeed most of the visitors here come here often and at different times of the year.



The monsoons are a time for hikers and enthusiasts interested in the flora of the place, as well as picnickers interested in enjoying the rain, heady greenery and misty environment of the place. The forest comes alive with streams, greenery and thousands of life forms rejoicing in the abundance of water.


Autumn brings the rock climbing and other enthusiasts waiting for dry weather. Festivals and holidays happening around this time cause a surge in family and school picnics in the recreation area, while the diminishing foliage increases the visibility of birds and animals for nature lovers.


Winters are a good time for bird watching and animal sightings, as well as providing very favorable temperatures for being in the outdoors here. Climbers also utilize this favorable drop in temperatures and climbing is at a peak in the Kanheri area in the winter.


The water becoming scarce around April-May is a good time for spotting wild mammals near the water points that remain.


On the whole, there is always something of real interest possible here, no matter what time of the year you choose to visit, as demonstrated by a daily entrance of about 15,000 visitors in the park (not including holidays and festivals)

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
