Camping at Samrad It's true what they say about Sandhan, you can't get enough of the place. Also known as The Valley Of Shadows, it is a beautiful valley situated in the Western Ghats Located near beautiful Bhandardara region, it is also surrounded by Alang, Madan, Kulang,   Kalsubai, Ratangad and Ajoba forts     Type : Camping event. Venue Location: Samrad, Bhandardara Region. Photos Link : https://goo.gl/eQujgI Cost: Rs. 1550/- per person   Samrad village is the home to the famous Sandhan Valley Trek during the Winters, to a reverse waterfall during Monsoons and to FIREFLIES during Summers.This May, witness a million fireflies emitting their lights and camping with you.   Fireflies are sometimes called lightning bugs. Many a child has spent a summer evening chasing them. And maybe you've wondered – how and why are these insects able to light up? The answer is that fireflies contain an organic compound in their abdomens called luciferin. As air rushes into the abdomen, it reacts with the luciferin. A chemical reaction gives off the familiar glow of a firefly. This light is sometimes called"cold light" because it generates so little heat. The firefly can regulate the airflow into the abdomen to create a pulsating pattern. Some experts think the firefly's flashy style may warn predators of the insect's bitter taste. On the other hand, some frogs don't seem to mind. They eat so many fireflies that they themselves begin to glow. Male fireflies also light up to signal their desire for mates – and willing females attract the males with flashes of their own. But not all the flashing of fireflies is motivated by romance. While each firefly species has its own pattern of flashing, some females imitate the patterns of other species. Males land next to them – only to be eaten alive. So the next time you see a firefly, keep in mind that its flickering isn't just a wonder of the night. It's also a unique, and sometimes deadly, language of love... Read more
