Bird Watching Area, Bhandup West - Bird watching area in Mumbai - Mumbai Suburban, India

Best place to see flamingos through ferry in Mumbai. One can explore the creek in a boat ride where one can observe a large number of lesser and greater flamingos along with various other birds Besides the commonly spotted species such as the common egret, pond heron, coppersmith barbet, oriental magpie robin, weaver bird, golden oriole, common kingfisher and common cormorant, one can see species such as the painted stork, greater and lesser flamingo, black-headed ibis, eurasian spoonbill, black-winged stilt.

Hidden gem in Mumbai and a great place for bird watching esp flamingoes during Dec and Jan. This place gives a country side feel when you enter here with salt pans and village style houses. There's a bit of off-roading trail which you can do with your cycle and also go on this road with your bike and 4 wheeler. When you reach the end point, there's a broken mangrove walkway that gives you a pristine view of the mangroves. Also, there's a jetty point that flows through the creek. There are too many mosquitoes so wear a full sleeve clothing. There's a watch tower point which needs to be maintained and through that you get a view point of the creek and see the birds as well from here. There's an entry fee of Rs. 50 at the entrance that has started since the last one year but I hope that does enough to reduce the thrash thrown inside this beautiful place.

This is not actually bird watching centre. Some birds are coming only in specific season like flamingoes. Otherwise only some eagles and regular birds are seen here. This is located near creek, narrow road is available for going till end. Nice and peaceful area you need your private vehicle to reach till end. Good for just roaming and photoshoot purpose. May be not safe for single person to go there . As it is far from locality. We were visited this in place off season so we just do some photoshoot here. So i will visit here again When flamingo season gets start.

The viewing tower definitely needs a complete overhaul as it is junked and scary to get on the top with no side railings. As far as this place is concerned, no bird lover on earth can miss the beauty of the sights and sound of this massive green zone.

Excellent place. Reach before sunrise and u can watch different species of birds. Also enjoy the salt pans. Good for birds photography. Take ur car inside upto some extent than explore walking. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise. Can spend an hour here. Flamingos visible in winters.

13-feb-2022, Bhandup pumping station birdwatching area includes variable habitat. It is riched with saltpans, grassland, creek shore and marshland. I spotted 70 species of birds along with 100+ flock of flamingos. Go when low tide is there you'll get many waders to see. Auto can go upto ticket window. Parking is available. You have to pay 50 rs entry fees to get inside l, we were 2 so I have paid 100 (see photo for ref.). I am attaching photos for your reference, please go through them.

It's has a very good tourism potential (atleast at local level) but it the government should create some attractions inside the sanctuary for getting visitors otherwise it has good amount of unique birds.

Great place to spend a Sunday early mornings to witness the migratory birds and enjoy the nature with your family and friends. We have been to BPS several times and every visit brings some surprise. If you are a keen lover of birds, you can budget 2-3 hrs in BPS. Since this place gets too crowded during wkends, you may not even get a parking space. So early visit is always recommended. Since nothing is available here, carry enough water, some mild snacks, dryfruits and most importantly mosquito repellent and be prepared for some insect bites too. Great place to inculcate the habit of birding to your children.
