Description

About the birding site:

Nestled in the historic Vasai-Virar (VIVA) region of Mumbai lies a hidden gem for avid bird enthusiasts. This breathtaking region boasts a rich historical tapestry dating back to the Portuguese colonial era, making it an ideal destination for those who appreciate not only cultural heritage but also a remarkable diversity of birdlife.

The Vasai-Virar region offers a unique tapestry of habitats for birdwatchers to explore. From the serene shores of Arnala Beach to the expansive Viva Wetlands & shrublands to the lush evergreen forest of Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary, this region showcases diverse ecosystems that attract a wide variety of avian species.

The shoreline of Arnala Beach serves as a vital stopover point for migratory birds, offering a temporary haven as they journey across continents. These wetlands are teeming with avian life, from elegant herons to jacanas in freshwater wetlands to sandpipers, plovers, oystercatchers, gulls & terns across the seashore gracefully traversing the waters. If you’re a bird photography enthusiast, you’ll find this region particularly rewarding.
