Witness Spectacular Flamingos Near Pune: My Visit to Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary

Did you know that close to Pune there's a place where you can see Pink Flamingoes from a close distance - much closer than anywhere else that I know of. This is at the backwater of Bhigwan Dam which is located at a distance of about 100km from Pune and takes about two hours to reach. Interestingly, the lake is a man-made lake which was formed when the dam was built and after that it started attracting birds from across the world. This is one human intervention that did something good for the environment!
Once you reach, you can take a boat from the parking and the boat takes about 20 minutes to reach the flamingo watching point. Unlike other places, you can get quite close to the birds in the boat. This also gives a unique opportunity to click some amazing pictures.
You can also book a boat with our boatsman. His name is Anant and he can be reached at +91 7721989622.
My companion on the trip were Amit, Poonam and Ishan and you follow them here - / trekography , / not_a_captive & / ishanwadke
