Bhigwan is a small town near Pune.. it is around 100 Kms from Pune.. This town is adjacent to Ujani dam backwaters where flock of birds visit every winter. Most important ones are Pink Flamingos. To check one of the item from my bucket list we planned a trip to Bhigwan for a day.. I booked a boat for 2 hour ride for 800 bucks.
We (Me - Jyotin, My Wife - Anki and My Daughter - Manu) got up early in the morning and left from Pune at around 5 Am in the morning... reached Bhigwan in 2 Hrs and easily found our guide who was ready with the boat. It was a rowing boat so that birds are not disturbed.. we started our trip with beautiful sunrise @ Ujani dam backwaters. Guide was very knowledgeable and he was well aware of various bird species.. he gave us lot of information. It was beautiful 2 hrs ride watching various sized birds including flamingos.
After a boat ride we took a quick detour and visited Mayureshwar wildlife sanctuary. It has nothing much to offer.. we saw few deers and that's it. Me and Manu got down from car and ate wild berry and explored the area on foot. After quick visit to Mayureshwar wildlife sanctuary we headed back to Pune. It as a nice day trip which can be taken from Pune during winters.
