Sewri Mangrove Park

 It was our last day in Mumbai and making the most of it, we were taken to this amazing place called Sewri Mangrove Park. Though it wasn't really Flamingo Season, this is where these migratory birds come every winter. I made the most of the visit clicking pictures of the Boats and Mangroves.

Warships on the Hooghly: A Glimpse Inside the Indian Navy ⚓

 

It’s not every day that you get to see Indian Navy warships up close, and this was one of those opportunities that simply couldn’t be missed!

Docked at Kidderpore Docks in Kolkata were INS Kuthar (P46), a Khukri-class corvette; INS Karmuk (P64), a Kora-class corvette; and INS Airavat (L24), a Shardul-class amphibious landing ship tank. The ships had been opened to the public, giving visitors a rare opportunity to step aboard and get a glimpse of life at sea.

And I got an even closer look!

I was fortunate enough to be accompanied by the ships’ Press Officer, who took me around and showed me parts of the warships that most visitors might not get to see. Seeing these magnificent vessels from such close quarters was fascinating—the sheer scale, engineering and firepower are simply awesome.

For a day, the Kidderpore Docks became a window into the world of the Indian Navy, and I wasn’t complaining one bit!
