A short video shared on X by @mybmc provides one with a glance of the tranquil road. Anand Mahindra retweeted that video on X and wrote, “‘Here’s one spot on my bucket list that I KNOW I will visit…”
Developed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Elevated Nature Trail is located between the peaceful surroundings of Kamla Nehru Park and Firozeshah Mehta Garden on Malabar Hill. Inspired by Singapore’s ‘Tree Top Walk’, India’s first-of-its-kind trail provides a unique natural experience well above the ground.
The walkway takes visitors through the lush tree canopies, with a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding flora. It’s not only a relaxation area but also an effort to reconnect people with nature in the midst of the concrete jungle. The path is wheelchair friendly, providing access for everyone who loves nature.
