October, November is said to be the best time to see lot of butterflies around mumbai.
So we decided to make a visit to Ovalekar wadi a open air butterfly garden near Owla village on Ghodbander road, Thane.
Rajendra Ovalekar himself has taken lot of pains growing butterfly nectar and food plants from 1991 and now it is a home to 132 species of butterflies and many other insects & birds.
