One of the easier treks located close to the busy city of Mumbai, Karnala fort can be accessed easily from Panvel.

 

Karnala is a bird sanctuary but the likelihood of glimpsing birds in this season is low.. but the trek is a beautiful exploration and nature trail leading up to a fort which still has some walls intact. To add to an already Beautiful Trek, the monsoon season adds a new dimension which makes the trek a delight for photographers & nature lovers alike!
