Isaac Kehimkar, aka the Butterfly Man of India, is in a flutter this week. “I’m so, so happy. There are nearly a thousand butterflies here. I wish you could see this,” he tells us, standing in his sprawling Kehimkar’s Butterfly Garden in Karjat. Luckily for us, we actually can. This Sunday, Kehimkar will host a guided walk for enthusiasts, to ring in the first weekend of Big Butterfly Month.
