All About It
Did you know, Bombay is home to the world's largest tropical forest surrounded by a city?
As the monsoon breathes life into this forest, we'll explore its vibrant biodiversity, led by an expert naturalist. This serene escape is the perfect getaway for us city dwellers. We'll make a quick walk up to Salim Ali Point for stunning views of Vihar Lake, then descend via the Leopard trail (don’t worry, no leopards, only pugmarks) and take a quick dip in some streams.
Come, rediscover our beloved city in a whole new light!
Time: 7:30 am (reporting time)
Duration: 2 hours
Where: Goregaon East | Film City Road
Difficulty: Easy
Get in touch with us for a private group booking!
What will we do ?
We meet at the Conservation Education Centre of BNHS and embark upon a 2-hour trail through the forest. Our expert naturalist will take us through multiple trails where we'll learn about the unique ecosystem and wildlife that calls this urban jungle their home.

Vagabond started out as a project by four friends with a disdain for the ordinary. The idea was simple; take people out of their comfort zones. Not like Roadies, but just enough to bond them together through beautiful and authentic experiences. Happiness, as they say, is only real when shared. And share we did. The company was founded in 2014. As fresh Bachelor of Arts degree holders, companies were lining up to hire us fine gentlemen; we’re kidding. Fueled by entrepreneurial zeal, we started with small events in the city like heritage walks through Bombay’s old quarters. As musicians and travellers ourselves, we decided to marry these two loves of our lives. That is how the idea for the first Fields of Sound™ came about. Since then, it has only been onward and upwards for us. Since 2014, we’ve made friends like family through our journey. Our little ‘Vaga’-Fam. It’s safe to say, it’s been quite an adventure. One we would like you to join :)
