Kaas Plateau Reserved Forest

Satara

About

With its dense forests and beautiful vegetation, the Kaas Plateau Reserved Forest is a gem waiting to be explored. Located just 30 mins ahead of Satara, the plateau houses Maharashtra’s very own valley of flowers and was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2012. Filled with colourful flowers and viridian forests, Kaas is home to more than 850 species of flowers including 33 endangered species. The valley comes alive in the monsoon and winter months and offers fascinating views of the Koyna Sanctuary that borders the plateau.  

August, September and October are the best months to visit, as you can enjoy light drizzles and pleasant weather, making the walk around the plateau even more delightful. You can also spend the evening camping near the plateau and enjoy breathtaking views of fireflies as they light up the area.
