Purushwadi Fireflies Festival

Pre-monsoon Fireflies Festival begins around Maharashtra; Summer weather begins its transition towards monsoon. There is excitement in the air farmers are busy preparing their fields for the upcoming farming seasons. Birds are active building nest for their mating seasons. During this season Fireflies take center stage around Maharashtra. 

We head towards Purushwadi Fireflies Festival to celebrate and witness these beautiful glowing fireflies at Night. During May and June months firefly emerge in thousands around the countryside in Maharashtra. Firefly emits unusual light patterns at night to attract the opposite sex firefly for mating. 

Fireflies belong to the beetle family they produce light using a technique called bioluminescence. Both males and females communicate using different patterns of the strobe light. This flashing pattern designs a fantastic spectacle for sightseers at night. Fireflies don't live long once monsoon starts, and they have completed the cycle of mating, laying eggs they die.

Fun trek, beautiful scenery, only thing is try to avoid this trek on Sundays in the monsoon because it's too crowded and takes longer to get up and down because of the rush and narrow stairs. We were delayed by a couple of hours. Instead try going on another day. - by Kunashni Parikh for Trek to Kalsubai Peak Highest Peak of Maharashtra 2018 organized by Treks and Trails India .

Though the experience was undoubtedly great there were few issues i personally had, since a bunch of us were slow compared to others when we reached the summit all the guides left inspite of them being aware that we had just reached and cause of this we did not get an emergency medical help by our guide which we expected. And as decided earliar one of the guides would always stay at the end was not happenin all the time we unexperienced helped each other also when there are two ways there was no one to tell us which way to go so we somehow went on the wrong route though it was nt a vry big issue or a diffence small things which should be taken care of - by Pooja Sonpal for Trek to Kalsubai Peak Highest Peak of Maharashtra 2017 organized by Treks and Trails India .
