The Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary is one of the best places in Thane for those with a penchant for birdwatching. Overgrown with mangrove forests on all sides, Thane Creek is home to several colourful bird species throughout the year.
The main attraction here, however, as the name suggests, are the pink-feathered flamingos that make their way to the sanctuary each year in spring. The best time to visit the sanctuary, thus, is between February and May, when the entire area gets coloured pink with the flocks of flamingo.
