Witness a Natural Light Show!
Join us for our Firefly Evenings, where you can witness nature's tiny lanterns, the mesmerizing glow of fireflies, illuminating the Sahyadri Mountains. This magical phenomenon occurs from mid-May to mid-June, just before the monsoon transforms the landscape. It's an experience that will leave you breathless and create memories that last a lifetime.
Nestled amidst the beauty of the Maval region, just 60 kilometers from Pune, Camp 365 offers you the perfect front-row seat to this natural wonder. Our Firefly Evenings allow you to witness the enchanting dance of fireflies in a safe and private area.
As night falls, Camp 365 offers a special "Dark Hour" experience. All the lights at the campsite go out, making it completely dark. This darkness helps the fireflies shine brighter, creating a magical sight you won't forget – like a million tiny stars dancing under the real ones!
Evening in the company of thousands of twinkling fireflies, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
