The story behind the magic:
They've been an object of fascination for hundreds of years, but what's so special about the tiny Firefly? Fireflies interestingly are not flies but in fact a species of beetle capable of producing light from their abdomens. These firefly flashes are part of a complex system of insect attraction – male fireflies in the air use distinctive patterns of flashing and flying to attract females of their species on the ground. If all goes well, they'll get a female to respond with a flash of light too. Their luminescent pursuit of love makes for a brilliant, one of a kind, a natural phenomenon that is guaranteed to leave you spellbound.
Other Highlights of the trip:
Not only will you get to bear witness to this shining mating ritual at night, but you can also participate in the fun-filled afternoons of eating unlimited ripe Mangoes, Karvandas and Jamuns by the river. For the more adventurous ones, rediscover the joys of climbing the fruit trees and help yourselves. Or if you prefer, you can just laze under the stars or swim in the river to become one with nature.
