Located along the Eastern Express Highway, the scrub mangroves and saltpans of Bhandup Pumping Station form a true Shangri-La for birds. This thriving ecosystem hosts a rich diversity of both resident and migratory species, offering one of the finest birding experiences right in the heart of Mumbai.
An easy, walkable trail winds through a mosaic of habitats from shimmering saltpans to lush grasslands, each alive with movement and song. Watch majestic storks standing tall in the shallows, plovers and sandpipers feeding along the flats, and perhaps catch sight of a Marsh Harrier gliding low in pursuit of its prey. Even the cheerful shrike might greet you from a nearby perch!
