Things To Keep In Mind
Expect sluggish conditions at places around because you would be visiting it soon after the rainfall (most probably!). Mind your surroundings. Don’t flash a torch at a tree full of fireflies. They go mad upon seeing the light.
The worms are not warm, they emit light because of the phenomenon called bioluminescence. So when they sit on you, allow them to walk. Don’t get scared.
Stay : In case it rains Home stay will be provided instead of tent stay depends on Rain
