Information on Kaas Plateau:
The plateau is formed mainly from Basalt which is covered by a thin cover of soil formed due to erosion.
The land is uneven at some places creating natural small puddles which then harbor a typical marshy flora. This situation encourages the herbaceous nature plant growth like grasses. Botanically the flora is labeled as “herbaceous”. Small shrubs and trees are located around the periphery of the plateau.
- Altitude of plateau is 1200 meters
- plateau area = 1000 hectares
- Hosts 850 species of beautiful wildflowers containing endemic flowers such as Anjani, Paner, Sonki, Kondal, Deepkadee and Kaasa. 624 species have already entered in the Red Data Book. Out of these 624 species, 39 are found in specially in Kas Region only.
- Now declared as a reserved forest
- Number of visitors have been restricted to 3,000 per day.
What is best best time to visit :

Although it was raining & heavy mist there (and mind well when we were at Satara it was clear .. no rains & sun light too !) .. however I was pretty happy to see lot of flowers … and looking at it it seems that next 15 days it will be colour change to blue-white .. since the blue white ball flowers are just started …

Where do I park my car ?
you can park your car ~1 kilometer away from the plateau & then a ST bus starts from there (only 5 rupee per person) and the frequency is pretty good .. so part your car ( I saw many people fighting with forest people to get there vehicle to the plateau ! but it is not required at all .. be cool park your car, i am sure you will realize that it is the best way for you to enjoy the flowers) … ST bus will drop you the exact point and there you can spend time to look into the best of nature .. the valley of flowers of Maharashtra … the Kaas plateau …
take care not to drop in plastic there .. no damage to the flowers .. do not touch them at all … you know this will ensure that thousands of other nature lovers can enjoy flowers if you keep them intact … and this year really i could see that due to lot of efforts put in by government and a social nature lover organization “Ranwata” .. the area is pretty clean 🙂 thanks
