Flamingos at Sewri

| Pink - Flamingos at the mudflats |
 |
| Fewer flamingos come to the mudflats every year as their habitat gets destroyed |
- Flamingos are typically at the mudflats from Feb to April
- BNHS (Bombay Natural history society) organizes a day of flamingo watching (flamingo festival) – check their website for more (http://www.bnhs.org/)
- The flamingos will be closer during low tide – time your visit (Sunrise makes for some nice photos)

| It was a hot Saturday morning! |
- The gates open at 7:30 am (it’s the same gate as the Sanjay Gandhi National park)
- The walk to the caves is 7 km and is recommended except during the summer months. There are private vans which can take you for Rs. 33/- one way. Alternatively, there is the 188 bus from Borivali station that runs on Sundays.
- Carry water as there are no shops along the way
- Beware of monkeys J
