Mangar Bani sacred grove
Forest trek · Mangar, Gurgaon–Faridabad border, Faridabad
A sacred grove that has never been cut, which makes it the last real old-growth forest in the Aravallis. Gentle trekking, deep shade, leopard country at the edges.
Best for: A serious morning trek with a fit dog
The pet policy
Open forest walking. Keep dogs leashed — this is genuine wildlife habitat.
Good to know
- Leopards are documented in the wider Aravalli belt — do not go at dusk
- No facilities, carry everything including water
- Go with someone who knows the trails the first time
Call before you drive over. Pet policies in NCR change with management, season and how busy the evening is.
