Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced the inauguration date for Mumbai's highly anticipated first elevated nature walkway at Malabar Hill, set to open on March 30. The inauguration event will take place at 9 AM.
The inauguration will be led by the local MLA, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister of Skill Development, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation, and Guardian Minister of Mumbai Suburbs, as reported by News18.
Mumbai will have its first-ever elevated walkway passing through a forested area. When opened, it is expected to become a major tourist attraction, offering stunning vistas of Girgaon Chowpatty. The walkway will span 470 meters in length and 2.4 meters in width, complete with a wooden deck, railings, and vertical supports, along with plans for full lighting.
The walkway is constructed using a mix of wooden decks, strong railings, and steel-reinforced foundations, ensuring both visual appeal and safety. A thoughtfully designed lighting system has been installed, enabling visitors to enjoy the walkway in the evening as well.
Speaking about the Elevated Nature Walkway, Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani said, "The walkway can hold 400 people at a time, and in case of overcrowding, it may collapse. Therefore, I have instructed the IT department to develop an electronic mechanism to control the crowd and freeze entry once the limit is reached. The gate will only open when the first 400 people exit," as per the report.
Entry Fee For The Nature Walkway
Mumbai’s first elevated treetop walkway is scheduled to open on March 30. As per the report by The Indian Express, there will be an entry fee to enter the nature walkway. There will be Rs 25 for Indian citizens and Rs 100 for foreign visitors, according to civic authorities who announced the details on Wednesday.
