Mulshi Firefiles
Our tenth year for one of our flagship events - DANCE OF THE FIREFLIES. This season come and join us to experience a natural phenomena so unique that its almost magical, where millions of fireflies swarm the forests around Pune/ Mumbai, just before the monsoon when the warm temperature makes it perfect for these nocturnal beetles to come out and flash their light.
They are trying to communicate many things. One of them is to find the perfect mate responding with similar blinking light signals. Imagine thousands of them lighting up the forest with rice grain size bulbs blinking all around you.

A lot more on this trip including a refreshing plunge to beat the summer heat into the pleasant and safe backwaters of Mulshi Dam. Take a forest trail to pick ‘Karonda’ (Black Current fruit).
Our camping site is fenced 10 acre property with ample parking space, private location, western toilets for outdoors campers and attached toilets for rooms and dormitory. Distance - 55 kms and 2 hrs approximately from Pune.
Great opportunity for photographers, all nature lovers to experience blinking stars setting down in the forest. Also incredible moments between parents and their kids to not only enjoy but learn and help preserve the dwindling eco-system.
