Home / Destination Details
Set out on a rewarding one-day drive from Mumbai to Kaas Plateauâoften called the âValley of Flowers.â Lying about 22 km west of Satara at 1,000â1,250 m above sea level, this ten-square-kilometer upland bursts into a kaleidoscope of wildflowers after the monsoon (AugustâOctober), drawing botanists, butterfly enthusiasts and photographers alike. Recognized as a biodiversity hotspot, Kaas Pathar is carpeted with rare blooms and endemic species that carpet its rolling grasslands and rocky outcrops.
From there, continue to Sajjangad (Parali Fort), perched on a Sahyadri ridge that extends east from Pratapgad. This hilltop strongholdâjust 10 km from Sataraâwas sanctified by saint Samarth Ramdas, who lived and preached here. A climb of roughly 180 carved steps leads you through the original gateway into the fortâs historic precincts, where spiritual energy and sweeping Ghats vistas meld with tales of Maratha valor. Return to Mumbai in the evening, your spirit refreshed by both floral wonders and centuries-old heritage.
