Mumbai

Mumbai, the capital city of Maharashtra, will soon see its first elevated forest walkway. From there, guests will be able to enjoy beautiful views of the Arabian Sea. The walkway inspired by the famous forest walkways in Singapore is quite ambitious. It would connect Kamala Nehru Park to Doongerwadi Woods. BMC has planned this eco-friendly initiative that promises an amazing scenic walking experience.

Know more about this ambitious project:

The forest is created over an elevated walkway on a length of 705 meters situated on Malabar Hill region, Mumbai. This wonderful elevated landscape of the forest provides unbroken views to walkers toward the Arabian Sea. It has designed a very fine wooden structure so as to disturb the natural environment while preserving water flow along hill slopes and wildlife movement to as minimal as possible.

It has a budget of INR 25 crore. Though it has faced several challenges, the forest is ready. Nevertheless, almost 90% of civil work has been completed, and other works, including electrification, painting, restrooms, and ticket counters, are going on currently.

The BMC is to complete the walkway by the end of this year, so it will be ready in time for New Year celebrations. This elevated forest walkway will not only offer a refreshing urban escape but also represent a significant step in Mumbai's commitment to sustainable urban development, providing a perfect blend of nature and modernity for its residents.
This would surely bring a much-needed respite in a city like Mumbai. With a forest inside the city, people will get a chance to get closer to nature with sea views.

This eco-friendly initiative will not only provide a scenic urban escape but also highlight Mumbai's commitment to sustainable urban development, offering residents a perfect blend of nature and modernity
