Kaas Pathar Tour from Mumbai by Mumbai Travel Club brings you an overnight journey to Maharashtra’s UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Join us for early-morning walks across seasonal flower beds with hassle-free AC bus transport and local Maharashtrian meals included.

Discover the vibrant wild blooms of Kas Plateau, popularly known as Kaas Pathar. Located near Satara, this basalt plateau transforms into a colorful floral carpet during the late monsoon season. Organized by Mumbai Travel Club, this one-day trip involves overnight road travel from Mumbai, allowing you to reach early in the morning to explore the demarcated trails, view endemic plants, visit Kumudini Lake, and avoid peak daytime crowds. The tour is suitable for nature enthusiasts, photographers, families, and solo travelers.

Note:

Events like the Kaas Tour depend on nature. For eg. natural things like snowfall, rainfall, blooming of flowers, or cloud formation etc. These things are not in our control and are controlled by nature only. While we plan the trip at the right season, nature can change suddenly. For example, flowers may bloom early, late, or sometimes get damaged due to heavy rain or no rain. Because of this, the flower blooming and number of flowers sighted on a given day is not controlled by us. Kindly have realistic expectations when it comes to flower sighting.
