Overview
Ride to the Magical Firefly Show at Arthur Lake
Gear up for an unforgettable bike ride through the winding roads of the Sahyadri ranges, leading you to the tranquil shores of Arthur Lake. Nestled amidst lush green mountains, this hidden gem is fed by the pristine waters of the Pravara River—a perfect escape to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Surrounded by the lush mountains of Sahyadri ranges, Arthur lake is a quaint little pool that gets its water from the Pravara river. It is a serene place to unwind and soak in the natural beauty
Fireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies. This process is called bioluminescence. Fireflies light up to attract a mate. This breath-taking show put on by nature resembles a psychedelic combination of stars falling and fireworks exploding It is an immersive experience you will never forget.
The fireflies do not always flash in unison. They may flash in waves across hillsides, and at other times will flash randomly. Synchrony occurs in short bursts that end with abrupt periods of darkness.
Come spend your weekend under the starry surroundings
