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.
