Kavdi bird watching point



It is that time of the year when the sky is painted red with Flamingo's. I was not interested to travel till Bhigwan, hence I was searching for any nearby places which I can visit. Then I found a bird watching point near Manjri. I couldn't find much details on searching except that

Ramdhara: Far from the maddening crowd

We have been planning to visit Ramdhara from long time, finally made it this Sunday.
Ramdhara is picturesque location near Loni Kalbhor, which is maintained by forestry department. It is mainly a temple with lake surrounding it and hills standing behind it. It is a good picnic spot. The canopy of tress is refreshing.

Bhigwan...tyrst with the birdies

history was replaced by ornithology...
we planned to visit Ajanta and Ellora last weekend but it didn't work, but we headed for Bhigwan.

We started at 6:00 am in the morning..I felt a bit cold but waved it off thinking that within half an hour through the journey i would be fine. But i was wrong..i was shivering till i reached Bhigwan...i had a tough fight with the weather to have some photographs..Even at 7:45am in the end Feb one could see mist hovering over the ground.

After crossing the village take a left turn(if u r coming from Pune) go straight may be for 3 or 4 kms..then you will find the two roads, first on left and then on right. Take the right road.

I saw only few birds and was disappointed. we went a bit late..good time to visit is in Dec and Jan..we went to bid farewell to the remaining birds ;-). We were not sure
