For availing exclusive tent for just one person, additional 800/- would be applicable. The tent will have a Styrofoam mat which is similar to yoga mat. To add to comfort level, we suggest you to carry a bedsheet or blanket to be put on the mat. Please not this is not a regular camping event and the tents are very basic dome tents
In case of heavy rains, an attempt will be made to provide shelter for the entire batch in the forest/mountain region. Tents cannot be pitched in rains or if it's windy or the weather for the night is expected to be bad. The attempt to find shelter will purely on best-effort basis and availability cannot be assured. Do not book this event if you are not comfortable with such situations

Washroom:
The washroom is available within a walking distance of 4 min. This is a tribal area (aadvasi area) so the washroom is pretty basic. 2 Indian style and 2 western style washrooms are available. (refer album link given in image section)

Complimentary:
Things that are provide as complimentary (free) are not part of charges paid for Fireflies festival. Example: drinking water, watersports, washroom etc.. are free.  

Complimentary Activities:
All the activities at the campsite are Complimentary Eg. Kayaking, zipline, archery, swimming etc .. These activities are suitable for participants above 12 year of age.

Reminder:
The main focus of this event is watching "Fireflies" and this is not a Camping focused event. Tents stay is just a medium to provide shelter for the night, this is not a regular camping event.

Traveling by Own vehicle:
Ideally you are supposed to meet the group at Dogra-Food-Mall in Kasara at the specified time in itinerary and proceed to the campsite along with the trek leader and other participants to avoid any inconvenience. Network issues can cause problems in terms of coordination and locating the campsite if you directly try to reach the campsite.

You may choose to reach the campsite directly but keep in mind the campsite is in remote location and network is pretty bad. You may not be able to contact us on phone or we may not be able to contact you on phone due to bad network.

Driver: If you are hiring a driver or driving the vehicle yourself , in either case every individual person coming to the campsite has to be registered as a participant and has to pay the charges. If you do not wish to pay for your driver you can ask him to drop you and then come back to pick you up next day.

Rain & Weather: 
Rains are expected to start from the month of June, during initial days the soil soaks up most of the rain water as it has been dry for several months, as days pass by, the rain water starts flowing. If it drizzles during the event it wont matter much, the fabric of tent is water resistant. But in case of extremely heavy rains, or stormy weather, the participants need to take shelter at a nearby shed. This shelter is only for protecting from extreme bad conditions and its not a stay-option. 

As of now the weather is completely unpredictable, within hours the weather changes from cold to hot or to humid without any possibility of prediction.

Current Situation: 
This is the Monsoon season and camping is best suited in winter and summers when it's not too windy or rainy. If the weather goes bad, accommodation will be provided in homestay/ dormitory/temp shelter, etc. instead of tents, or maybe the tents will be set up at a shelter location. Please do not book this event if the terms and conditions mentioned on this page are not agreeable to you. 

• The main focus of this event is watching "Fireflies" and this is not a Camping focused event. Tents/shelter, activities, watersports etc are just complimentary things that are provided if weather is suitable.
• The event Schedule, Itinerary, Timeline, group composition, and all operational aspects are subject to change without prior notice. In these uncertain times, we will try to do our best to get things rolling but unavoidable circumstances may impact the operations.

Food:
During fireflies festival is sourced from local "Adivasi" villagers, this is basic home cooked food and is prepared by the villagers in the region. In past several years people have loved this food. But since lockdown got over, the expectations of people have become unreal and food is still that same authentic village food. The nearest option for restaurant or average food is available at a distance of 26 KM. Do not book this event if food is your priority. Alternatively please carry packaged food along with you if you are grumpy about food.

Fireflies Sighting: 
Fireflies Glow only in weather condition suitable for mating. As we are currently in transition phase of moving from Summer to Monsoon the weather is completely unpredictable and can change within hours. Its not possible to predict the weather in advance. Natural phenomenon like Rain, Wind, Flowers, Fireflies, Clouds, Heat wave, Cool breeze, Humidity, etc. are not in our control and we do not assure occurrence of any natural phenomenon. During Fireflies Festival, on some occasions, we will be able to spot thousands of fireflies, and sometimes we may barely get to see a few. The first and the last batches will have lesser number of fireflies.

IMPORTANT:
Please do not book this event without reading and understanding the details mentioned on this page including inclusions, exclusions, FAQ's, Itinerary, Important note, and cancellation/rescheduling policy.  

Beware of "Chapri" type of shady boys on Instagram, luring people using cheap-tricks like discounts or offers, they generally use stolen or without-permission reposted images/videos/text content. Its pretty easy for anyone to create a instagram ID with fake followers.

Always research about "Compatibility" and "Category" of the trek group you plan to join. After all, you will be spending entire duration at night in company of the group You choose. 

As per our experience "People often opt for groups that match their mindset" -OR- sometimes get carried away by cheap manipulative marketing.

Q: Are Kids allowed to participate in Igatpuri Fireflies Festival? 

A. Yes Kids are allowed. Age does not matter, It purely depends on how fit the kids are and how they have been raised in terms of adaptability to nature. One of my 3-year-old nieces can do all the Fireflies events at all the locations easily, but on the other hand one of my 16-year-old cousin can't even dare to think of going to any of the events listed on our website. His parents have raised him in such a way that now he is incapable of being in nature. This may sound harsh, but its ground reality.

Q: Is Igatpuri fireflies festival safe for solo participants?  

A. Yes, mostly 30% of participants come up solo and blend in. Mischief Treks has a reputation of providing a memorable experience for each and every participant.

A. Mischief Treks has a track record of making our trekking and camping events extremely safe for girls. Normally 60 to 70 percent of our participants are females. 

Q: Are pets allowed in Fireflies Festival?

A. We dont mind, but the forest stray dogs cause trouble for all other participants when they sense presence of any outsider animal in their territory. If this happens we will have to ask the pet to be taken away from campsite. Hence we highly recommend not bringing any pets into any forest region including Fireflies Festival. 

Q. Are any discounts or coupon codes available?

A. Mischief Treks is known to be one of the rare few organizers who do not try to manipulate people using marketing tricks like unreasonably increasing charges and then providing offers and discounts to make people feel as if they have got best deal. The concept of Group-discounts end up making  solo participants pay more and hence we do not support it. We at mischief Trek believe in honest and transparent charges for one and all. 

Q: How far do we have to walk from the campsite to see the fireflies?

A. To spot the mesmerizing fireflies we usually walk for about 5-15 minutes (approximately 20 meters to 400 meters) on a forest terrain at the AquaNest exclusive campsite of Mischief Treks. If you are lucky you may get to witness lot of fireflies around your tent too.

Q: Do we have to trek uphill to spot the fireflies?

A. No you don't have to exert, at Mischief Treks Fireflies campsite there is no need for rock climbing difficult grade trek to witness the fireflies. The walk through the forest terrain is mostly on forest ground, allowing you to experience in the beauty of nature without rock climbing.

Q: How much time will we spend watching the fireflies?

Ans. We make sure everyone gets a chance to marvel at the fireflies' illuminating display. Typically, we spend enough time for most people to enjoy the spectacle. However, if you're craving an extended firefly experience, feel free to stay back at the spot as long as you like. It's all about creating unforgettable moments.

Q: Can we reach or leave early/late from the campsite?

A. Yes you can, provided you have your own wheels, you can reach as per your comfort and leave the campsite whenever you wish. You can skip dinner/stay, and if you are ready to hit the road, you can return to your home or hotel anytime. We don't have any restrictions or obligations when it comes to staying back at the campsite. You can reach and leave as per your choice. The charges for participation will be the same for all participants. Skipping part of event will not qualify for special rates or discounts 

Q: Is mobile phone network coverage available at the campsite?

A. Well, If you use Jio phone you will have phone network coverage, but if you use Airtel or any other phone you might get intermittent network. The mobile network coverage is pretty patchy. So, be prepared for some digital detox with Mischief Treks and embrace the nature vibes. 

Q: Is there a mobile phone charging available at the campsite?

A. Sorry, but the Fireflies campsite is located in forest region at a remote location and there is no option to charge your mobile phones. Mischief Treks recommends bringing along a portable power bank with you so that you don't run out of phone battery power.

So, whether you're sleeping in a tent, a camper van, a village home, a hammock, or even under the stars under open sky, it's all part of the camping adventure.

Q: What are the major problems faced by organizers during Fireflies Festival? 

A. The Fireflies festival happens during end of the month of May till mid June, and this is the worst time to go for overnight stay at such locations, But as the fireflies are visible only in this season the only thing we can rely upon is having shelter at village homes or tents. Tents are completely unreliable in this region due to heavy wind possibilities. Hence if the participants haven't read and understood the event details mentioned on this page, they might end up having unrealistic expectations from the organizers or they may expect this to be like the regular camping events. For example, at fireflies events food will be pretty basic, stay arrangement will be very basic, bonfire cant be done as smoke harms fireflies.

Yet, some people just scroll through and ignore the Important Points, Terms, FAQ section and About-Us section. We cant guess what you already know and what you don't.

Igatpuri Fireflies Festival - Update 

The best time to watch fireflies in Maharashtra, India is during pre-monsoon phase i.e. Starting from third week of the month of May to fourth week of June. 

Personal experience: 

According to the Trek-Leader Kuldip Rathore, last week of the month of May 2025 and the first two weeks of the month of June 2025 are going to be the best time for sighting maximum number of fireflies. He also suggests that this year maximum number of fireflies will be witnessed at Bhandardara Fireflies Festival, Karjat Fireflies Festival, Rajmachi Fireflies festival, AquaNest Igatpuri Fireflies Festival, and Kothaligad Fireflies Festival. Amongst these locations AquaNest and Bhandardara campsites of Mischief Treks will have maximum number of fireflies.

The Glowing Mystery: Did you think why do these creatures illuminate the night? Well, It's all about romance and warning. Fireflies use their radiant glow to attract potential mates while simultaneously sending a message to predators who often are afraid of fire and illuminating objects. 

The Threat of Decline: Loss of Habitat, increasing light pollution, and use of pesticides by humans pose significant threats to the firefly population in India. With only a handful of species remaining, the need for conservation efforts has become a matter of urgency. These fireflies are safe for humans and they do not bite. If you are concerned about rain and its impact on fireflies check the Facts vs Myth.
