Witnessing fireflies and experiencing their bioluminescence is indeed a magical experience. In this trip, we will be visiting to the interiors near Samrad, where these fireflies can be seen in abundance.
Starting your journey from Kasara and traveling by a hired local jeep to the outskirts of Bhandardara to Samrad is a convenient way to reach the location. Once there, you can immerse yourself in the beautiful sight of fireflies lighting up the trees.
Experience a primitive camping set at the foothills of Ratangad fort. Camping in such a scenic spot allows you to connect with nature and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. Relishing homemade food during the camping experience adds to the authenticity and enjoyment of the trip.
Not just camping, the campsite is close to the starting point of the Sandhan Valley, Where you can take part in the rappelling experience. We provide certified climbing equipment and have a qualified technical person to handle the setup.
