Fireflies Festival & Camping at Bhandardara & Sandhan Valley on 1st-2nd June 2024:

Grade: Easy
Category: Camping

Fireflies:
There are more than 2000 species and each has a unique flashing pattern. They are alive for only 2 months of the year in India, May and June. They hatch from their eggs, become the cool flickering bulbs, attract a mate, lay eggs and then die. The eggs then hatch the next may. It’s a mating thing. The male fireflies blink their bum’s silly to attract the female firefly. If you flash a torch on a tree full of fireflies, they go mad. They must think a big firefly has arrived to steal their ladies…
Sandhan valley is Asia’s second largest Canyons in the Sahyadri mountain ranges. It is a very good combination of a canyon and a valley. Located in the Nagar district, near the famous fort Ratangad, Sandhan valley is undoubtedly The Valley of Suspense. Walking through the narrow streak of valley with 350 ft rock walls on both the sides is a lifetime experience. Exploring Sandhan valley is always a memorable.

Bhandardara sits by the Pravara River, and is a blend of natural beauty, waterfalls, mountains, tranquillity, greenery, invigorating air and pristine ambiance.
