Photo Travelogue :
If you are a hill lover, but donot want to go away from the city, then Bombay has two beautifull hills ranges that it offers. One is Yeoor Hills and the other, Parsik hill. They are just on the edge of the city and doable within an hour each. While Yeoor is on the buffer zone of the SGNP, the Parsik on the other hand runs off the eastern part - from thane to navi mumbai. Its quite massive, around 15 sq kms, and height reaching around 2000ft at certain points. The hills turn magical during monsoons.
one can spot the hills from far distance...in this case, while arriving from Kalyan side...
the hills faces the huge expanse of mangroves below that houses rare and exotic migratory birds...
clouds looming above the wetlands...
civilisation always mars natural beauty...a necessary evil? but sadly, with many illegal encroachments...
perched on top of 780 steps and 1500 feet height is the famous mumbra devi temple...
close up view...there's a unique flattened vertical rock that stands out immediately, even from a distance...
the hills turn blue green with several waterfalls during monsoons...
there are couple of reserve forests in the entire range...
trekkers and rock climbers delight...
bewitching hills that always calls out...
stunning nature...
the massive parsik hill at the backdrop of a lake...
