It is a naturalist’s haven and a photographer’s delight.
Mr.Ovalekar is always at hand to guide every visitor round his painstakingly built butterfly park. The entry charges are just Rs.50/- per head which includes a guided tour of the garden by Mr.Ovalekar. Do call him prior to your visit to know the best time to visit.
Now do have a look at what I saw on my visit in April this year and the butterfly season had barely begun.
The details of how to get there are given at the end of the post.
To get there :
Drive down the Eastern or Western Express highways to reach Ghodbunder Road.
Owla is a non-descript village near the Suraj Water Park on this road.
One can also take a train to Thane and exit by the western side of the station to take an auto rickshaw to the garden.
BEST bus number 700 (running between Thane and Borivali stations) also passes this way.
