Ratnagiri Wetland Fringe
Five kilometres from Ratnagiri, the Wetland Fringe is a seasonal habitat that draws both resident and migratory birds, making it a quiet reward for those willing to add a short detour to their day. November through March is the window to aim for — that's when the water and birdlife are at their best. Access is moderate rather than easy, so a capable vehicle helps. Shade and parking are available on-site; an entry fee in the mid price range applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
