Details on: collections/top-5-locations-for-fireflies-festival-camping-and-trek
The Fireflies Festival 2026 is almost here (May 16 – June 21), and the biggest question we get is: “Which location is the best?” At Mischief Treks, we’ve spent 12+ years tracking these glowing beauties. Here is our official 2026 ranking to help you choose your perfect midnight adventure:
1️⃣ Bhandardara (The Legend): Best for maximum sightings. Massive lakeside colonies of fireflies.2️⃣ AquaNest Igatpuri (The Exclusive): Our private, non-crowded campsite. Best for those seeking peace and serenity away from the general public.3️⃣ Kothaligad (The Trekker’s Choice): A short, easy night trek combined with intense firefly activity.4️⃣ Rajmachi (The Adventure): A mix of rustic homestays and forest trails. Perfect for those who love a bit of off-roading.5️⃣ Karjat (The Quick Escape): Closest to Mumbai & Navi Mumbai. Minimal travel time, maximum nature.
? Mischief Fact Check: “Does rain kill the fireflies?”Actually, NO! Fireflies mating season starts with the first pre-monsoon showers. Moisture and humidity are what trigger their glow. We trek rain or shine!
Why Mischief Treks?✅ Exclusive Campsites: No random crowds.✅ Eco-Sensitive: No bonfires, no smoke, no music—we respect the insects.✅ Safe for All: Families, solo travelers, and girls’ groups are our specialty.
Which vibe are you choosing this year? Lakeside camping or a midnight trek? ⛺?

Where will you witness the glow? Top 5 Fireflies Spots for 2026!
Details on: collections/top-5-locations-for-fireflies-festival-camping-and-trek
The Fireflies Festival 2026 is almost here (May 16 – June 21), and the biggest question we get is: “Which location is the best?” At Mischief Treks, we’ve spent 12+ years tracking these glowing beauties. Here is our official 2026 ranking to help you choose your perfect midnight adventure:
1️⃣ Bhandardara (The Legend): Best for maximum sightings. Massive lakeside colonies of fireflies.2️⃣ AquaNest Igatpuri (The Exclusive): Our private, non-crowded campsite. Best for those seeking peace and serenity away from the general public.3️⃣ Kothaligad (The Trekker’s Choice): A short, easy night trek combined with intense firefly activity.4️⃣ Rajmachi (The Adventure): A mix of rustic homestays and forest trails. Perfect for those who love a bit of off-roading.5️⃣ Karjat (The Quick Escape): Closest to Mumbai & Navi Mumbai. Minimal travel time, maximum nature.
? Mischief Fact Check: “Does rain kill the fireflies?”Actually, NO! Fireflies mating season starts with the first pre-monsoon showers. Moisture and humidity are what trigger their glow. We trek rain or shine!
Why Mischief Treks?✅ Exclusive Campsites: No random crowds.✅ Eco-Sensitive: No bonfires, no smoke, no music—we respect the insects.✅ Safe for All: Families, solo travelers, and girls’ groups are our specialty.

Where will you witness the glow? Top 5 Fireflies Spots for 2026!
Details on: collections/top-5-locations-for-fireflies-festival-camping-and-trek
The Fireflies Festival 2026 is almost here (May 16 – June 21), and the biggest question we get is: “Which location is the best?” At Mischief Treks, we’ve spent 12+ years tracking these glowing beauties. Here is our official 2026 ranking to help you choose your perfect midnight adventure:
1️⃣ Bhandardara (The Legend): Best for maximum sightings. Massive lakeside colonies of fireflies.2️⃣ AquaNest Igatpuri (The Exclusive): Our private, non-crowded campsite. Best for those seeking peace and serenity away from the general public.3️⃣ Kothaligad (The Trekker’s Choice): A short, easy night trek combined with intense firefly activity.4️⃣ Rajmachi (The Adventure): A mix of rustic homestays and forest trails. Perfect for those who love a bit of off-roading.5️⃣ Karjat (The Quick Escape): Closest to Mumbai & Navi Mumbai. Minimal travel time, maximum nature.
? Mischief Fact Check: “Does rain kill the fireflies?”Actually, NO! Fireflies mating season starts with the first pre-monsoon showers. Moisture and humidity are what trigger their glow. We trek rain or shine!
Why Mischief Treks?✅ Exclusive Campsites: No random crowds.✅ Eco-Sensitive: No bonfires, no smoke, no music—we respect the insects.✅ Safe for All: Families, solo travelers, and girls’ groups are our specialty.
Which vibe are you choosing this year? Lakeside camping or a midnight trek? ⛺?
