Dear Friends, Defying all the calculations monsoon arrived on time and swept The Mumbai off its feet.
With its rains it brought an explosion of life everywhere… ….life blossoming on forest floor……..ephemerals pushing the earth aside, striving, climbing, clambering for a space for itself towards Sun……noises of being born can be heard if one put an ear to the ground. Tall trees silently grinning at all the happening down below on the forest floor and among their branches where birds & bees happily creating many monsoon love stories….. We invite you all for a Tree Appreciation Walk on Bamboo Trail on 19th July at 7.30 am. *The 63rdwalk is on Sunday 20th, 2014 * * Venue: Bamboo Trail, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali* *Time: 7.30* *Duration of walk: 2 hours* *Meeting Point: SGNP’s gate near the ticket window.* *Please buy your ticket which is Rs.45/- per head. Car ticket is approximately Rs 110.* *Also note we have to pay Rs 200/- to forest department for entering the trail and Rs 10 for the forest guide. Please pay the said money to your group leader and **kindly bring exact change** so we do not waste time]. * *Most Important:* *1. **Bamboo Trail is a restricted area and we have taken permission to conduct the walk there. It is about 5 km inside the park from the main gate.* * 2. Its not possible for us to arrange for the vehicle from gate to Bamboo, please make your own arrangements to reach there which is just 5km from the main gate. There are taxi available which charge Rs. 50/- approximately and for return you may get a bus.* *Very Important : Please Don’t be late, specially those who are coming for the 1st time for the trail in the park & not familiar with the area....there will be other groups also for their walks and it will be very difficult to locate us once we leave for Bamboo.
