| Originally
planned as a wildlife retreat outside Mumbai, the Sanjay
Gandhi National Park is now virtually engulfed by the
growing city. Most of it is wild and unsafe, but
breathtakingly beautiful, filled with dense forests and
dotted with sylvan lakes. There are wild animals here, of
course, but the only way you can see them is to take the
Lion Safari at the entrance. Don't expect displays of
predatory power though: most of the animals here are so
used to tourists that they merely yawn at the passing
buses. |
