Witness a Natural Light Show!
Join Foliage Outdoors at Camp 365 for an unforgettable Fireflies Evening, where you’ll witness the magical glow of thousands of fireflies illuminating the Sahyadri Mountains. This enchanting natural spectacle takes place from mid-May to mid-June, just before the monsoon breathes new life into the landscape. It’s a rare opportunity to see nature’s tiny lanterns up close and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Located in the scenic Maval region, just 60 kilometers from Pune, Camp 365 provides the perfect setting for this unique experience. Our exclusive Fireflies Evenings are held in a safe, private area, ensuring you enjoy the mesmerizing dance of fireflies in comfort and tranquility.
As night descends, immerse yourself in our special “Dark Hour” at the campsite, when all artificial lights are switched off. In this complete darkness, the fireflies’ glow becomes even more spectacular, transforming the night into a living galaxy of twinkling lights.
Spend an evening surrounded by the wonder of thousands of fireflies, and let Foliage Outdoors at Camp 365 show you the magic of the wild like never before!
