About:

Prabalmachi is a little hamlet hiding in the hills, so close to our megacity! It offers a picturesque backdrop of two gigantic Sahyadri peaks–Prabalgad and Kalavantin. Enjoy fun time with the glowing fireflies. Just walk along the dense forest and quietly observe these bio-luminescent bodies twinkling all around. Prabalmachi serves as the base village for famous treks of Prabalgad and Kalavantin forts.

Fireflies:

Fireflies, the twinkling insects that belong to the family of beetles, are intriguing bugs that light up the night. Fireflies light up due to a bioluminescent reaction that takes place in their bodies. These insects glint brightly particularly during monsoon.
