This season come and join us to experience a natural phenomenon so unique that its almost magical, where millions of fireflies swarm the forests around Pune/ Mumbai and one such location is right beside our campsite in Mulshi. (55 km away from Pune)
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 travelers to experience blinking stars setting down in the forest.
