- VijayDubaiThane, India78 contributionsAarey 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.Written 9 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Bhavan’s Nature and Adventure Centre is a “hidden gem” tucked into the Bhavan’s College campus
Open to the public on Sunday and to school groups on weekdays by prior appointment.
There are several sections which not only held our students (from NGO Angel Xpress Foundation) in thrall but also our adult volunteers. Visitors are taken around by volunteers who are knowledgeable and obviously enjoy what they do.
In addition, they’re well organised so students are taken around by volunteers in small groups.
First we went to the animal rescue section. After a short engaging talk, we were shown a duck (how it differs from goose, migration etc), Guinea pig (different from porcupine), rabbit (different from hare) and hedgehog (different from Porcupine), a Saint Barnard and a walk around to see geese, rabbits, turtles, tortoise, many species of colourful birds and huge Burmese pythons. Students got to see and in some cases, touch them animals.
Then the nature trail where we were shown many varieties of trees including the silk cotton and Kailash. Also why butterflies are important and specimens of a variety of (dead) butterflies and moths.
Followed by the Zipline (big favourite), walk through a tunnel, archery and commando net.
I loved that there was drinking water at several places, so our students could refill their bottles.
The washroom was clean.
We spent a little about 3 hours there which included Pre-ordered hot lunch before we returned.
Strongly recommended for a fun educational visit.Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Devika RaniGuwahati, India176 contributionsMumbai - 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.Written 24 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written 13 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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 !
