Mumbai is one of the places in India which has blessed with several good things from modernity as well as environment, sewri jetty is one such place, its one of the best places to watch sun rise and sun set and ofcourse the pink flamingos during their breeding season.

Sewri is the best spot to see the bird Flamingo in India along with other birds like Black-Headed Ibis and Black-Tailed Godwit, Western Reef-egret, River Tern, Sandpiper, Green Shank, Herons, Egrets, Cranes, Wagtails and Swallows.So for bird lovers it is a nice place.

We went early morning during sunrise to Sewri mangrove park as shown in google map. There were thousands of them but bit far away from the point we were allowed to watch. Concrete path which leads to mud flat is damaged many place so they don’t allow to walk on it.
Before sunrise we could see lot of sticks jetting out of water. After sunrise We could see lot of pink but was not clear without binoculars. We had one so we were not disappointed. We also saw some were on the other side which was indeed appeared in map as secondary watch point. But again there was construction going on, but no one restricted us.
There few flamigos, Ibis and painted stark were very near.
What we heard from the policeman posted there was , birds fly away to mangrove during high tide, but before that when sea starts to raise initially flamingos move near to the watch points. One needs patience and time .
1. Take Binoculars
2. Don’t go during high tide
3 better go in your vehicle .
4 Google shows wrong U turn in Wadala , so ask for direction to Shivdi

If you are looking to see the mangroves and a very different side of Mumbai go here. It isnt well organized. Google maps does a good job of pointing it out. Go to Sewri fort for the best views of the marshes.

Went early morning in mid January which is supposed to be a good time to see the migratory birds, especially the flamingos but there were no birds at all!
We were informed that the birds have stopped coming here since a year due to trans harbour line construction which is happening very close to the Sewri jetty - the place which used to be the spot to see the birds.
If someone is interested in trying other spots, they can try the spot in airoli /vashi creek. I have read that the migratory birds still visit those areas.

Located in some what remote location. I would not suggest to go after sunset. Car is must to visit this place. You may go in Taxi, but won't be able to find one while going back. Place may be dirty is some ship would have been docked. But it's HEAVEN to see migratory birds in Mumbai that too from Russia. Go only during LOW TIDE. Depends on your luck hote close flamingos come. You may also see some other rare birds. Carry good pairs of binoculars if you have. Best time would be to visit when water levels are increasing slowly as you would see birds coming near you. Worth spending one Sunday. BNHS organizes one event every year. Follow them to get if you are new to bird watching.

Visited early morning at 7am for flamingo spotting
The road is extremely bad with pot holes so avoid taking your car instead use a uber or ola
Dusty with large trucks parked haphazardly and no signs the jetty has been badly neglected
There are a few old ships and the water is polluted by plastic waste
Few wading birds and flamingoes could be spotted far away

This is the place which is quite secluded from busy life of Mumbai . It is small and abandoned jetty . We visited this place in first week of February early morning but were not lucky to spot any flamingos . However we spotted many other birds such as Black Ibis . Though disappointed not see any flamingos we were pleased be at this place .

After consulting with birdwatching expert Sunjoy Mongha via email, I was advised to visit between 17:00 - 18:15 pm on January 6th. I went - nothing. No flamingos, no birds. Complete waste of time.

There was a recent article (Jan 2018) about the bird observation area being barricaded. Is that still the case?

Has anyone been to Sewri lately amd can confirm if they are still around. I am planning to visit that place this weekend but only possible for me to visit towards evening due to aome schedule conflicts. Is the sighting good at evenings ??
I want to visit this place, alone. Is it safe for a girl to go before sunrise? I want to witness sunrise.

Yes, it is safe for to go alone. It would be advisable to go in a personal vehicle. Google Maps has correct directions. Free Parking is available very close to the Sewri Jetty. With sunrise times becoming earlier in the morning, one would need to go around 6.45 AM.
Do take a good camera and binoculars.

Hello Sir,
Does one have to go through any organised trips to watch Flamingos or can one watch without them also?
Parameshwaran G

There is BHNS that does have a organized tour. You can find more information on their website. They have one in February.
The other option is to explore on your own. You can reach there by Car via Eastern Freeway or from Matunga. It is 20 mins from Sewri Station.
Advice is to carry a good Zoom Camera and Binoculars.

I'm planning to visit this May but can I see any birds at this hot time of year ?
What species other than Flamingo can I see here ?

Hi Paul, May is not an ideal time for visit. You may try visiting during Nov-Feb or lately by March. It depends on the weather actually, if it gets hot too early, they leave for the next destination.
Besides Flamingos, you can see Heron and Sandpiper. There are a few more but I do not know their names.
Hope the reply helps!
