Pune Butterfly Garden

The Pune Municipal Corporation maintains a butterfly garden in Sahakar Nagar. 

Not many people in Pune city are aware of its location as it is not well publicized. After asking several people, we were ultimately able to locate it. We expected it to be quite large and spacious. However, it is a small garden with two walk-in enclosures. The enclosures are covered with wire-mesh to prevent the butterflies from escaping. 

The open garden is quite small and there was no knowledgeable person around to guide us around the site and help identify the various species.

Over a period, one hopes that the trees and flowering plants will grow and be able to support a larger variety of species.
