Flamingo Watching Tours Mumbai
About
Seasonal tours to see thousands of migratory flamingos in Mumbai. Every winter from November to May, the mudflats of Thane Creek and Sewri transform into a spectacular pink-and-white panorama as tens of thousands of Lesser and Greater Flamingos arrive from their breeding grounds in Gujarat's Rann of Kutch. The best viewing spots are at Sewri Jetty and the designated Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary—India's first flamingo-protected area covering 1,690 hectares. Early morning visits between 6-9 AM offer the best sightings as flocks take flight against the Mumbai skyline. Binoculars enhance the experience significantly. The flamingo migration to urban Mumbai is one of the world's most remarkable wildlife spectacles within a megacity.
