The Kaas Plateau is also known as Maharashtra’s Valley of Flowers. This wonder of nature is situated just 25km away from the city of Satara on the high hills of Sahyadris in the Western Ghats. It is the best place to visit in late monsoon, between August and October. The whole plateau looks like a carpet of flowers in various colors.
It’s a unique place for flora researchers, nature lovers, and photographers. Though the flowering lasts for just two months, but still near about 850 various flower species can be found at the Kaas Plateau. Moreover, few are found on Earth only at Kaas Plateau. In June 2012, UNESCO has announced this location as a Biodiversity World Heritage Site.
