 Destination Details

Who are these beautiful Fireflies?

Fireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies. This process is called

bioluminescence and is shared by many other organisms, mostly sea-living or marine

organisms. Fireflies light up to attract a mate. To do this, the fireflies contain specialized

cells in their abdomen that helps to create light.

About Harishchandragad Fort 

Harishchandragad Trek : is a hill fort in the Ahmednagar District of India.

The fort is quite ancient. Remnants of Microlithic man have been discovered here. The

various Puranas (ancient scriptures) like Matsyapurana, Agnipurana and

Skandapurana include many references about Harishchandragad. Its origin is said to have

been in the 6th century, during the rule of Kalachuri dynasty.

Kokankada, This cliff faces west and looks down upon the Konkan. It provides a scenic

view of the surrounding region and the setting sun. The cliff has an overhang, but has been

climbed many times. Sometimes a circular rainbow (Brocken Spectre phenomenon) can be

seen from this point. It can be seen only when there is a bit of mist in the valley, and the

sun is right behind the person facing the valley.

Trekking till Harischandragad and camping at this historical location is indeed an

experience worth remembering.
