Top 5 Things To Do In Mulund
A peaceful suburb in North-east Mumbai, Mulund was one of the first planned neighborhoods in the city. Because of that, it has huge residential complexes, malls, restaurants, hospitals as well as an industrial area nearby. This area also marks the end of the city.
Mulund In A Nutshell
It is nestled along the foothills of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, so there is a lot of greenery around to see. While the area was dominated by pharmaceutical industries in the earlier years, it is now lined with skyscrapers as all the land from the industries has been dedicated to residential buildings and shopping malls. It’s a lively suburb that you can access by the suburban rail network as well as the road network through the Eastern Express Highway and LBS Marg.
1. Do Some Yoga At Johnson & Johnson Garden
Johnson & Johnson Garden is an oasis of calm in the midst of chaos in Mumbai. One of the oldest gardens in the area, Johnson & Johnson Garden is a place where you can spend hours at leisure.
There is a lot of greenery and free space available in this garden, so it is a hot spot for joggers and fitness freaks looking to do yoga or go for running. If you’re going with a bunch of friends, take a frisbee along, and relive your childhood days again.
