- The itinerary is subject to change due to weather conditions, traffic, or other unforeseen circumstances. This itinerary can be customizable based on your preferences and the availability of activities for private batches.

Adventure Club Pune invites you to witness one of nature’s most enchanting spectacles - the Bhandardara Fireflies Trail and Camping experience.
Set against the tranquil backdrop of the Sahyadri ranges, this trail offers a rare opportunity to observe thousands of fireflies lighting up the forest just before the onset of monsoon. The quiet charm of Bhandardara, combined with the surreal glow of these bio-luminescent insects, creates a truly magical atmosphere.
This experience includes overnight camping by the lakeside, soulful music, warm bonfire sessions, and local-style meals. It's an ideal getaway for nature lovers, adventure seekers, photographers, and anyone looking to unwind in the lap of nature.
Join us for a peaceful yet captivating journey into the wild - where memories are made under a sky full of stars and forests lit by fireflies.
