This June come experience a natural phenomenon so unique it is almost magical, where millions of fireflies swarm the forests around Pune and one such location is Mulshi. (40 km away from Pune). This is our third batch going out on the 10th and 11th June. We had the opportunity to witness the tress being lit up with these beautiful lighting bugs blinking either looking for a mate or looking for prey.

Just before the monsoon the warm temperature makes it perfect for these nocturnal beetles to come out and flash their light to find the perfect mate with responding blinking light signals. Imagine thousands of them lighting up the forest with rice grain size bulbs blinking all around you. Great opportunity for photographers, nature lovers, adventure seekers and offbeat travelers.

Location info: We will be visiting a forest area adjoining to Countryside Resort near Mulshi Lake. Misty green hills, few lost clouds meandering across a bright clear sky and a lake with sparkling blue water. The lake with scenic surrounding and unexploited Sahyadri hilly terrains is the picture perfect beauty that awaits you at Mulshi. We will be hiking through the forest in the evening and night to be able to find these magnificent little creatures.
