Overview

Bhandardara Fireflies Festival Camping 2024*

 

Before the monsoon arrives, the tiny bioluminescence beings sparkle and shine to emit a glow. It's nature’s own light show that amuses one and all. Fireflies typically shine at twilight to attract mates or prey. These fireflies bring magic to your summer night. Play with these little creatures while they keep amusing you all night long. Photographers be ready with your cameras, so as to capture the sight and save it forever. Add to this the fun of a camping-night in the folds of majestic Sahyadris.
Located in Igatpuri near Nashik, Bhandardara is a scenic hill station. The night trek which is followed by camping beside the blue Pravara Lake, beneath the clear star-studded sky and the awesome sight of innumerable jugnus or kajwas lightning up at the campsite is truly a sight to behold.
