Mother nature holds in herself the abundant beauty and art. In an ocean of creations, butterflies are small yet beautiful creatures that steal hearts! Have you ever tried to observe them carefully? It looks as if the God has specially manufactured the colours to paint it on these flying beauties. The process through which the butterflies are born is nothing less than a miracle!

Sadly, butterflies have also taken a hit by the spreading urbanisation. Hence, it becomes even more necessary to protect them. Several butterfly parks are found in different parts of India.
Shall we take a tour around some popular butterfly parks in India?

Butterfly Park, Bengaluru
Every good thing has a good beginning! Likewise, Bannerghatta Butterfly Park, which opened in 2007, has been a model for butterfly conservation, research and captive breeding. The Butterfly Park in Bannerghatta National Park was a great initiative that also provides knowledge on butterfly species and butterfly life-cycles. Bannerghatta Butterfly Park is the first butterfly park in India and also a popular tourist place in Bengaluru (Bangalore).

Ovalekar Wadi Butterfly Garden, Thane
Thanks to the efforts of Rajendra Ovalekar, today there is a Butterfly Garden in the busy Mumbai. Interestingly, here butterflies are not bred in artificial conditions! Ovalekar Wadi Butterfly Garden was created by converting an agricultural land in the outskirts of Thane (Mumbai). Tourists can witness almost 70 species of butterflies which fly around happily in this garden. It is one of the must-visit Butterfly parks in India!
