Visit Maharashtra's very own Valley of Flowers!
The Kaas plateau blooms into a riot of colours (one or many) post the monsoon. September end or Oct beginning is the best time to visit and so we have arranged a trip to coincide with this phenomenon of bloom.
Visit the wind farm at Chalkewadi, see the Koyna backwaters & enjoy a ride / drive through the curving mountain roads besides, of course, visiting the kaas plateau. :-)
​
We have planned the trip such that you have the option to Ride/drive to Kaas and enjoy the roadtrip + stay or you can choose to travel to Satara by train / overnight bus and you will be met by a taxi which will pick you up to join the group for sightseeing and drop you back to the exit point of the bus / train station. So pick your preference!
