Nature Walks and Forest Trails

Step into the woods just beyond the property and you may come across the gentle movement of barking deer, the curious gaze of grey langurs, or the distinctive call of Indian civets. If you're lucky — and quiet — you might catch a glimpse of the leopard, the region’s most elusive and majestic resident. Wild boars, porcupines, and jungle cats are also known to inhabit the area, while the forest floor carries telltale signs of their silent presence.

Outer Lansdowne is a birder’s paradise. Wake up to a melodic chorus of Himalayan bulbuls, oriental magpie-robins, crimson sunbirds, and white-throated kingfishers

When the sun dips behind the hills, the sky at Vanvasa reveals its most breathtaking secret — a wide, open galaxy of stars, unmarred by pollution or city lights.

Nearby viewpoints offer unmatched vistas of the setting sun spilling across valleys and treetops. It’s the perfect way to close a day in the forest — camera in one hand, silence in the other.
