About of Karnala Bird Sanctuary:

Karnala Bird Sanctuary located on the Mumbai-Pune Highway to Goa, just ten km from Panvel. Sanctuary is located at the base of the Karnala fort paradise for bird watchers. Karnala is a tiny sanctuary, barely 4.8 sq km, home to over 150 resident bird species and about 37 types of avian migrants.

Karnala fort consists of two forts one at a higher level and other lower. At the centre of the higher level is a 125 feet high basalt pillar. It is also called Pandu's tower. This structure was used as watchtower when the fort was occupied however today the ruins of the fort are a popular destination for hiking and tourism. The fort was likely constructed before 1400 situated at the Height 439 m (1,440 ft) ASL.

Trek to Karnala is always, a pleasant surprise away from Mumbai's concrete jungle.
Trek to Karnala is one of the easy trek in Sahyadries, good for beginners to start with, we consider ourselves part of nature and we owe a lot to our mother nature. So instead of just going for trek and increasing our carbon footprint, we will be collecting plastics and other non-biodegradable waste (optional) and to disperse seeds. All the Students will receive certificate.
