Karnala Fort Trek
Overview
Karnala is best known for its bird sanctuary at the base and the striking needle-shaped rock pinnacle that rises above the old hill fort at its summit. The trail winds gently through dense forest that hosts a wide variety of resident and migratory birds, making it as much a birdwatching outing as a trek. The short distance and low altitude gain make it one of the easiest weekend treks near Mumbai, popular with first-timers and families.
