## Kalsubai Peak Trek from Pune
The Kalsubai Peak is a trek that offers natural surroundings from waterfalls and forests to grasslands. The highest peak of the state of Maharashtra at 5,400 feet or 1646 meters above the sea level high provides breathtaking views across all of Bhandardara, which is easily accessible via Pune.
The Kalsubai Temple is at the mountain's peak, and pilgrims from nearby villages come to take her blessings. It's believed that a young village girl called Kalsubai lived in those hills. She used to cure villagers and animals and help with pursuits like agriculture. One day the girl left for the summit, but nevermore returned, so to remember her, the villagers built this small temple on her home on the mountainside while the main temple was built on the mountain's peak.### Kalsubai Trek Event Details

Fireflies Festival Information
Summer vacations are usually memorable. A fantastic way to finish summer vacation is to watch fireflies in the evening before the monsoon arrives. In English, they are called Fireflies. In Marathi, Kajawa, and Hindi, Jugnoo.
A total of 2,000 different types of firefly bugs have been identified. There is still much unknown information and riddles for our professionals to uncover. The following is a list of things we`ve learned about fireflies.
Fireflies belong to the beetle order; they are not flies.
Fireflies produce light using bioluminescence through the night to lure mates or prey.
Fireflies chemically generated glow from the lower belly can be yellow, green, or light red.
Each Firefly Varieties performs its strobe pattern.
Males perform light flashing patterns to attract mates or prey.
Female fireflies respond using light patterns to select a mate.
They complete their cycle of life and die before the monsoon begins.Bhandardara Lake View Camping Highlights
