    Greenest Place in Mumbai
    Aarey Colony is the greenest place in Mumbai. One will really get thrilled with lush green surroundings, clean air and peaceful environment here. During the rainy season this place becomes even more beautiful. I have visited this place with my friends one or tow times. There is a good restaurant at the top, which serves mouthwatering food.
    Government should preserve Aarey Colony should declare it forest land, so that the beautiful Eco-system of this place can be maintained.

    Pink jewel of the SEWRI Mudflats Sesonal Migrant Habitat
    Mumbai - MTHL , gave me a change to watch these flamingoes as they arrived and spent 7 -8 months from winter to summer along the tidal mudflats of Mumbai. The project is a flyover over the sea. The learning curve of how the bird behaves is a good scientific study.

    Never seems to disappoint


    Bhandup pumping station is an unique biodiversity right in the middle of the largest city of India, Mumbai. 

    The city's geography which is cut by 2 creeks (Thane creek from the south and the Vasai creek from the north) has lead to the formation of a mighty mangroves system. This not only helps the city from being submerged by tidal flooding but has become a breading groud for many different species of birds, reptiles and also insects. 

    Bhandup pumping station is in the heart of this ecosystem and is attracting a lot migratory and non migratory birds over the years. Of late it has also become a must go for photographers and naturalist from all over the city. 

    There is a nominal entry fees of ₹50 per person and ₹50 or ₹150 for taking your vehicle. ₹100 is charged as camera fee. There is also a jeety at the end of the road where you can hire a boat which will take you in and around the creek, the price wary and is upto you negotiate skill. 

    An early morning visit will not disappoint  you at all and you will get to view a variety of birds and reptiles specially in the winters. 

    Few birds which I had the opportunity to click are different kinds of herons, storts, egrets, white throat and common kingfisher, koel, coucal, parakeets, bee-eaters, sunbirds, bulbuls, doves, mynas, sandpiper, stilts, swallows, Gulls, cormorants and of course the flamingos. Other than this lizards, snakes and lot of butterflies. 

    Overall this place has a significant values in whichever way we think and we should do whatever it take to protect it from the destruction caused by human beings.

    Out of this world both trips & edu courses
    Did a course on Bio Diversity and subsequently two short on line courses on Butterflies & Orninthology.
    Abs top of the bracket experience. Extremely knowledgeable, dedicated people, ready to help novice like me to experts of the subject.
    Under leadership of Dr. Raju Kasambe doing a tremendous job in the field of environment & Bio Diversity.

    Highly recommended for their courses and to my mind associating with them some way or the other.

    Another very high point is participating in their organised tours & study excursions. Did two - Goa ( for reptiles mainly), Bharatpur ( migratory birds) . Just FANTASTIC ! Experienced helpful & energetic officials, v professional travel n stay arrangements & company of like minded people !
    Must go type !
    Full marks. Please continue good work
