Overview

Bhandardara Lake Fireflies Festival Camping 2024 | Fireflies Festival 2024 from Mumbai & Pune

What are Fireflies?

Fireflies are sometimes called lightning bugs. Many children have spent summer evenings chasing them.
Maybe you‘ve wondered how and why these insects can light up.

The answer is that Fireflies contain an organic compound in their abdomens called luciferin. As air rushes into the abdomen, it reacts with luciferin. A chemical reaction gives off the familiar glow of a firefly. This light is sometimes called “cold – light” because it generates so little heat. The fireflies can regulate the airflow into the abdomen to create a pulsating pattern.
While each firefly species has its pattern of flashing, some females imitate the pattern of other species. Male land next to them – only to be eaten alive. So the next time you see a firefly keep in mind that it flickering isn’t. Just a unique & sometimes deadly language of love.

About Bhandardara Lake Fireflies Festival 2024

Imagine a dreamy landscape with cozy tents pitched near a shimmery blue lake and skies filled with millions of stars. As the Sun sets and rises with utmost charm, the skies are painted in various blue, purple, and orange hues. Welcome to the Arthur Lake-one of the most popular attractions of the hill station.
While the pre-monsoon season calls for the spotting of hundreds of fireflies, the monsoons and winters offer trekking and camping opportunities, and Bhandardara’s multitude of crystal clear streams and waterfalls, fishing, and boating make it an attraction for tourists all year round.
Kajwa Mahotsav Bhandardara offers an unmatched number of options, for travelers of all kinds, to seek their slice of nature and relaxation. Its proximity to Mumbai and steadily increasing tourist infrastructure make it a must-visit weekend getaway spot.
