The trail leads to the rocky, grass and Euphorbia strewn plateau near Kanheri Caves, which is excellent for viewing raptors like Crested Serpent Eagle, soaring on thermals, and spectacular views of the National Park. At the end of the trail, one can visit the ancient Kanheri caves, which date back around 2,100 years. Carved out of volcanic rocks, there are around 109 such caves. Caves and surrounding structures also harbour good biodiversity.
