The early monsoon is the mating season for fireflies. The time when the Sahyadri forests come abuzz with countless fireflies. Situated in the heart of these ranges is Rajmachi, which is one of the best locations to witness the joyous season of fireflies. On this trip, you will go on a night trek around the base village of Rajmachi in the company of thousands of fireflies. On the second day, you will trek to the Rajmachi Fort and you'll see the radiant greenery of the Western Ghats from the top.
