Attraction Information,
Bhigwan is a small dusty town on the border of Pune and Solapur district in Central Maharashtra, in India. Bhigwan is located on the Pune-Solapur Highway. The distance between Pune city center and Bhigwan is 105 km. One can travel to Bhigwan by various means of transport. How to Reach Bhigwan ? 1) State Transport Buses bound for Solapur and onwards from Pune take you to Bhigwan in 3.5 hours. The obvious advantage of ST bus, is that one need not drive. However Bhigwan is a vast area. The birding spots are as far away as 10 to 15 kms from Bhigwan main town. So this mode is not convenient. There is also a train station at Bhigwan. However both ST bus and train are not convenient.South of Bhigwan town, exists a widespread backwater formed due to a man made dam built on the Bhima river. The dam is called as Ujni dam. The backwaters is spread over a wide region and is mainly a shallow waste water reserve. There are two areas where one can see the migratory water birds. 1) Diksal-Parewadi area and 2) Dalaj - Kumbharwadi area. To reach Diksal, please reach Solapur end of Bhigwan town. Take left (if you are travelling from Pune) before the River bridge. The road goes to Karmala/ Diksal. Diksal is a small village on this road at distance of 6-7 kms from Bhigwan. Take right from Diksal and travel by road which heads to Bhilarwadi Sugar plant. After the right turn at Dikasal, the road cuts through the backwaters. On both sides of this road one can see backwater and birds. The road is however very narrow. This road has been built on the old railway line. One can see remains of shunting stations and station platforms on this road. Very heavy vehicles are not allowed on the bridge on this road. After travelling for about 4 kms, one reaches, end of the bridge, where fishermen have set up a small roadside village. From here, one can hire a small fishing boat to locate exotic species2) The personal transport is best way to explore Bhigwan region. The Pune to Solapur road is very busy road with lot of widening work under progress. One needs to drive carefully on this route. Once you reach Bhigwan, Cross the town, and reach the southern end of the town. Drive along NH9, for 8 km beyond Bhigwan towards Solapur,till you reach a village Dalaj no 2. (near Bhadalwadi lake). Here take left and reach the banks of backwaters. Birds can be seen at the backwaters near villages Kumbharwadi, Dalaj. To reach other village called as Diksal, one should start from Bhigwan, take left at the southern end of town, drive along SH68, till you reach Diksal corner. Take right along Kettur Bhigwan road to reach banks of water to see the birds.such as flamingo etc. To reach Dallaj no.2, travel along Solapur highway after Bhigwan for about 9 kms. Take left and further travel for 2 km on rough road. Always remember village names and enquire whenever possible. Native people are friendly. However all the villagers do not understand about the birds and birding locations etc. Most of the villagers in the area are unaware of the importance of ecosystem around them from the point of view of birdlife and migration etc. There are more than 100 medium or large dams in Maharashra. However, Ujni (bhigwan) is unique. There are no hills around here. Many other maharashtra dams do not host large populations of migratory birds due to very high water depth and clean water. The Ujni backwater is shallow and spread out in vast area. The discharge of water from Pune region dams such as Panshet, Pawna, Khadakwasla, Varasgaon, Temghar, etc flows to Ujni after passing through Pune City. The semiwaste water in this ujni dam backwater area has built very good wetland based ecosystem and helped agriculture also. The rainfall in Pune region decides the water level in Ujani dam. Lesser the water, shallower it is. More birds can be seen in winter. However this causes big problem for resident nesting birds in late summer, due to water scarcity.

Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary Vlog | Bird Watching Pune 2019 | Flamingos
Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary is around 100 Kms from Pune and the route is fairly straight and easy to go. There are a huge variety of migratory birds here from October to February, and the place is popular especially for Flamingos. Its a wonderful place to go watch a sunrise or sunset that too with birds flying in the air, it makes up for a wonderful scenic view. Besides the calm and serene weather and atmosphere early in the morning makes it a very different environment altogether which you don't get to visit in your every day life.
This place is the dam backwater of Bhima river where you find all these birds and you can rent a boat for Rs. 800 which will take you to a tour for almost an hour where you get plenty of time to click the birds, make videos as well as watch sunrise and capture some beautiful moments.
Bhigwan Sanctuary is also known as Bharatpur of Maharashtra.
Here is the number of the guy Akshay who took us out on Boating. You can also, call him and check with him before going there if there are enough birds there or when should you come.
