From our India journal:  Mumbai has a National Park in the city limits. Headed north today to try Kanderi Caves.  Got on express train north to Borovili. Leaving train at last station, the locals tell us told to hold back -- here the crush comes first as commuters jostle for space then we can walk off. Another short rickshaw ride [Audrey’s starting to think of excuses to get more rickshaw rides ].  At the gate to the Sandjiv Ghandi National Park| we’re told no rickshaws are allowed in [though later we see some] but they just happen to have a private car available for 900 R!  Two other Indians show up and get much the same response.  Finally we decide against the 8 km walk to the caves, though it is only 90 out today. 

After walking around for awhile, we wind up at the lion safari bus -@ 30 R,  We ride in a small bus with bars on the windows and pass thru Jurassic Park like double gates, up & down a winding one lane road, then spot a white tiger that stretches for us.  Next set of gates, we find a pride of 5-6 lions asleep in the road, well positioned to allow tourist snapshots before the bus hustles them off the road.  Stop for some cheese pakoras and drinks then head back to the hotel via rickshaw/train.
