What Makes it Awesome?
This trek is awesome for those who love to travel. And for those who love participating in once-in-a-lifetime kind of experiences and continue to narrate that story for generations. And those who like trekking, clicking pictures, and meeting new people, you’ll specially love it.
Happening every weekend till June 22, this weekend the trek organised by Ramblers India takes you up close and personal to this natural event. The fireflies glow especially bright around the monsoon, and that’s the reason this annual trek is something that the state waits for excitedly. From hiking up Bhimashakar from Kandas and descending via Ganesh Ghat , to go firefly sighting and enjoying an aerial night view of the valley below, there's lots to do. With this tour, your homestay and yummy home-cooked food is already planned. The price per head is INR 1,200 but this does not include the travel to Neral (although the itinerary is ready and you can hop on to the same train). However, travel from Neral to Kandas, the base village is covered. Visit their Facebook page for more details and to book a weekend.
Pro-Tip
The fireflies only come around once a year. And we suggest you don’t miss this.
