Kaas Plateau Group Trip from Mumbai

Step into a living carpet of colors at Kaas Plateau, known as the Valley of Flowers of Maharashtra. Located near Satara, this UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site transforms into a breathtaking floral wonderland every monsoon. Perfect for botany enthusiasts, photographers, and nature lovers, Kaas is one of the most unique biodiversity destinations near Mumbai and Pune.

🌸 Why Visit Kaas Plateau?

Every year from late August to early October, the plateau blooms with over 850 species of wildflowers, many of which are endemic and endangered. The landscape becomes a mosaic of:

• Pink balsams, yellow smithia, blue utricularia, and other vibrant blooms

• Rare species like the Karvy, which flowers once every 7 years

• Seasonal butterflies and insect life drawn by the explosion of flora

Kaas is also surrounded by lush forests, waterfalls, and lakes, making it ideal for a monsoon weekend getaway from Mumbai or Pune.
