Bhigwan Flamingo Bird Sanctuary - Bird watching area in Bhigwan - Pune, India

It's an awesome place for nature lover* Morning is so quite & serene* Don't miss early morning boat ride* Chill near water in evening for a beautiful sunset with Flamingos*

The best time to visit Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary is between the months of November and March. But, if you want to witness its true beauty you must visit this place in February. This is because a lot of rare and beautiful birds migrate here during this period, including the flamingoes.

This place is a must visit if you love Wild life, specially migrated birds. Some very beautiful birds including flamingo can be spotted here. Lot's of options are available for food on highway. Boats are available along with guides at very reasonable rates. We booked it for 1000 rs for 3 people for 1 hour. As per locals, best time to visit is between November to March .

Nice experience. Saw different birds which travels from European countries. Also nice family vacation spot.

It was amazing experience at Bhigwan flamingo bird sanctuary. These birds are very beautiful and attract people and we can see actual Nature how it looks like and we can get amazing experience in between our busy life . Especially The guide Sachin he is amazing person and he guided the whole journey. nice to meet him. So just take break and go here and enjoy small but amazing journey .

Been there twice, my advice would be to call and check 2 things with the boating person in advance 1. If they have boats available early morning for bird watching 2. If flamingos are there or not If you don't get to see the flamingo then also I will say it's a magical experience to do boating at sunrise time, all the sunrise colour makes the water more beautiful. When we went first time we didn't get to see flamingos but we watched so many other migratory birds from very close. If possible take the binoculars with you for better experience. Watching flamingos and their beautifully colourful feathers was wonderful experience. The total boat ride time was 1-1.5 hours. There is limited parking available for 4 wheeler. There are some photobooths also available. Try your best to reach before sunrise for closer view of flamingos. I did not had camera to capture the beautiful fast flying birds but attaching few clips from my phone for reference. Must activities to do I would say.

It was my very first time to visit any bird sanctuary...but it was a worth one!! We hired a boat and Akshay guided very neatly with detailed information about the birds...here we saw many types of birds we don't have chance to see in our daily life...and the main attraction here was the flamingo.!! We got chance to see them..but as they are very shy type of birds..they just flyed away as we got there...! But we enjoyed the trip...and one who is nature lover should try this!!!
