Mumbai for kids: Tungareshwar in Vasai is a good movement route for kids
- Updated: July 20, 2016
The H2O is transparent and it’s a pleasure to drop your sneaker-clad toes into a tasty coolness. We are in Tungareshwar. There’s a cloudburst. It is perfect. A month ago, a same route upwards was lined with a brew of trees with unclothed branches while other had tired, dry leaves and flowers; all was lonesome with a skinny covering of dirt from a desiccated soil. Today, it’s tough to trust we are in a same place. The trees are sensuous with new leaves and each aspect is a radiant chronicle of verdant. Flanking a categorical route of a trek — a beaten route of approximately 10 feet breadth are unpretentious streams and little springs.
Kids and adults demeanour by binoculars to mark birds
Tungareshwar is a towering rise in Vasai, dual hours from Bandra (and hour and a half from Dadar), and one of a nicer treks to do with kids since a slip is peaceful and it falls underneath easy to medium-easy movement trails. If we adore a monsoon, and wish to do something outdoorsy with your kids, Tungareshwar it is. Just bound into a car, get set for a prolonged expostulate and step out for a prolonged inlet walk. It’s renouned with trekkers all by a year. But in a monsoons, it comes alive with waterfalls and purgation streams.

Tungareshwar is home to annual and biennial trees
The categorical circuitous lane runs together to a stream for a few miles and before reaching a Shiv church set on a side of a mountain. The route is surrounded by unenlightened timberland and a stream cuts by in some places.
The route has a possess charm; and if we mount still for a bit, we will mark surprising birds and insects. In summer, we speckled Damselflies and Dragonflies, bees, wasps, caterpillars, dozens of Pagoda Ant nests, Greater Coucals, Orb Weavers and a Tailor bird.
In a rains, wildlife-spotting is vaied. As we walk, we mark other trekkers, in twos or in tiny groups, binoculars in place and cameras unresolved from a neck. Everyone is clad in raingear and caps. But it’s pointless. Water seeps into all and somehow, staying dry no longer matters.
Tungareshwar is a fruitful site for bird spotting
Tungareshwar’s has a vast series of deciduous trees as good as evergreens.
We adore a trek since we can revisit a mark over and over again, and it is never a same.
