Fireflies Season Rajmachi Trek with Homestay
June 17, 2023 @ 9:15 am – June 18, 2023 @ 6:00 am
Experience Fireflies along with hiking to the twin forts at Rajmachi. We travel from Lonavla/ Khopoli to Rajmachi. Once we reach Rajmachi, embark on a hike towards Rajmachi Lake and Godhaneshwar Temple. This time, you’ll have the chance to witness the mesmerising display of fireflies during the night. It’s a truly enchanting experience to see these tiny creatures light up the surroundings. We will stay at a villager’s house for a homestay experience. Enjoy the warm hospitality and relish homemade local food.
The next day we set out to hike the twin forts of Shrivardhan and Manaranjan. These forts offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. Explore the historical structures, enjoy the trekking experience, and soak in the natural beauty of the region.
