Mumbai's Malabar Hill Nature Trail: Check Timings, Ticket Prices, How To Book Tickets, Rules And More

The newly inaugurated elevated nature trail at Mumbai's Malabar Hill has quickly become a popular tourist destination, with about 3,400 visitors flocking to the scenic trail in just two days of opening. On, the first day of operation, Mar. 30, about 1,053 citizens visited the trail, the Mumbai civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.

In a post on X, the BMC claimed that about 2,346 citizens and tourists flocked to enjoy the scenic beauty of Malabar Hill on Mar. 31, driven by the public holiday due to the Eid festival. The peaceful environment of the tourist spot has made it a popular elevated forest walkway for short getaways.

The Mumbai civic body also shared photos of the public visiting the spot on the inaugural day, with many people seen enjoying the scenic view of the hills from the trail. Tickets for the trail can be booked online.

To prevent overcrowding, the BMC said that only 200 people were allowed at once to take a walk on the trail. People are provided with time slots on their tickets during which they can enjoy the nature trail.

"Each visit is limited to a one-hour time slot, with entry and exit regulated through a barcode generated upon online ticket booking," the BMC explained.

Locals and tourists can visit the nature trail by booking tickets through the dedicated official website - naturetrail.mcgm.gov.in. The BMC has set the entry fee to Rs 25 for Indian citizens, and Rs 100 for foreigners.
