Explore a variety of butterflies on a nature trail at Ovalekar Wadi
As the monsoon enters its last phase, the months of September and October become the ideal time to witness the splendour of butterflies.

Organised by Bombay Natural History Society, participants will get the chance to view over 150 species — including Blue Mormon, which is the state butterfly of Maharashtra, Great Orange Tip, Brown King Crow and Stripped Tiger — that can be found in Mumbai and its outskirts.
