Yesterday visited Kaas Lake and Kas Plateau (Valley of Flowers)
Kaas Lake ls on a distance of 22kms from Satara. While going to this lake you will have a beautiful nature around you. Total road of 22kms is hilly, going from Kaas Plateau which is called as Maharashtra's Valley of Flowers. In monsoons, the climate here is at its best.
Kaas Plateau is really a Valley of Flowers. Enjoy the scene of widespread carpet of flowers, of different colours and variety spread over acres of land on the Kaas platue. definitely worth seeing - nature in full bloom which is once-in-a-life-time wonderful experience. The lateritic plateau of Kass has becomes home to millions of tiny flowers in late monsoons. The whole spectacle is beyond words. More than 300 varieties of wild flowers, herbs, orchids, shrubs, insectivorous plants etc. can be seen here in Aug and Sep (Best time is 15th Aug to 15th Oct). This plateau overlooks the lush evergreen forests that serves as a water catchment area of Koyna Dam and which is recently declared as “Sahyadri Tiger reserve". In monsoon the whole area transforms into an unbelievable carpets of flowers like yellow carpets of Smithia and Sonki flowers, Pink carpets of Balsam, Purple carpets of Karvi etc.
It is a dream destination not only for avid botanists but also for those who appreciate nature. These carpets change colours almost every week depending on the dominant flowers during that time.
