Malabar Hill in Mumbai to have the city's first treetop walkway

08 Jun 2021 CW Team

A design for the development of an elevated path through the forests on Malabar Hill has been approved by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The trail will be 900 metres long and 1.5 metres wide.

When ready, the skywalk could take one for a canopy stroll through the woods to get a clear view of the sea. By the end of 2021, the walkway is expected to be completed.

There are a few skywalks in the city, but no elevated recreational walkways. The one being planned for Malabar Hill will be the city's first of its kind.

Aditya Thackeray, the Maharashtra Tourism Minister, tweeted about the project, saying that a route for walkers or joggers and tourists alike with a spectacular view and surroundings will be available soon.

The viewing deck will be 5 metres wide and have a glass base with a total expenditure of around Rs 10 crore.

The architect of the project Rahul Kadri is a resident in the Malabar Hill neighbourhood.

According to Assistant Commissioner of D Ward, Prashant Gaikwad, the residents of Napeansea Road have been actively involved in the project since the planning stage.

Residents, together with BMC officials, will supervise the projects at various phases after they begin, he added.

The BMC is now preparing a detailed project report (DPR), which will be followed by a tender. By the end of August, a work order for this project will be issued.

The body of the walkway will be made of steel, and the fabrication work will be completed. The walkway installation and erection will begin in October.

It will be akin to the treetop walk in MacRitchie Reservoir, Singapore which brings tourists 25 metres above ground on a free-standing suspension bridge.
