Please Do Not Book This Event Without Reading And Understanding This Section

Tents Stay:

A Styrofoam mat will be provided in the tents to keep you comfortable. Tents will be allocated on 3 sharing basis, for Twin sharing additional Rs.500 needs to be paid per couple. For availing an exclusive tent for just one person, an additional 800/- would be applicable. The tent will have a Styrofoam mat which is similar to the yoga mat. To add to your comfort level, we suggest you carry a bedsheet or blanket to be put on the mat. Please note this is not a regular camping event and the tents are very basic dome tents

In case of heavy rains, an attempt will be made to provide shelter for the entire batch in the forest/mountain region. Tents cannot be pitched in rain or if it's windy or the weather for the night is expected to be bad. The attempt to find shelter will be purely on a best-effort basis and availability cannot be assured. Do not book this event if you are not comfortable with such situations 

Washroom:

Basic village washrooms are available within walking distance of 1 minute. This is a tribal area (Aadvasi area) so the washroom is a pretty basic Indian washroom. The bathing option is not available at this campsite.

Food:

During the fireflies festival is sourced from local "Adivasi" villagers, this is basic home-cooked food and is prepared by the villagers in the region. In the past several years people have loved this food. But since the lockdown got over, the expectations of people have become unreal and food is still that same humble village food. Do not book this event if food is your priority. Alternatively please carry packaged food along with you if you are grumpy about food.

Transport:

The bus/jeep will take you to the Camping location directly, there's no trekking involved. The approximate distance from Mumbai is 165.3Km. and from Kasara it's approximately 70 Km. If you miss the pickup, no refunds will be provided. You will have to hire a taxi on your own and reach the campsite.

Travelling by Own vehicle:

You will get the coordinator's details and the exact GPS location of the campsite in the WhatsApp group. You are supposed to reach the campsite at 6.40 P.m. The region has a bad mobile network and you can consider to catch up the group at Kasara itself (refer to itinerary) and following the jeeps till campsite.

Driver: If you are hiring a driver or driving the vehicle yourself , in either case every individual person coming to the campsite has to be registered as a participant and has to pay the charges. If you do not wish to pay for your driver you can ask him to drop you and then come back to pick you up next day.

Rain & Weather: 

Rains are expected to start from the month of June, during initial days the soil soaks up most of the rain water as it has been try for several months, as days pass by, the rain water starts flowing. If it drizzles during the event it wont matter much, the fabric of tent is water resistant. But in case of extremely heavy rains, or stormy weather, the participants need to take shelter at a nearby shed. This Shed is a village home comprising of a hall and two rooms, this shelter is only for protecting from extreme bad conditions and its not a stay-option. 

Please NOTE:

The main focus of this event is watching "Fireflies" and this is Not a Camping focused event. Tents/Home-stay/dormitory stay is just a medium to provide shelter for the night. Do Not book this event if you are not comfortable with such situations. 

If the weather is expected to be bad, accommodation will be provided in a homestay/dormitory/shelter location instead of the tents. 

This is the Monsoon season and camping is best suited in winter and summers when it's not too windy or rainy. If the weather goes bad, accommodation will be provided in homestay/ dormitory/temp shelter, etc. instead of tents, or maybe the tents will be set up at a shelter location. Please do NOT book this event if your focus is on luxury/comfort camping only. This is specifically a Fireflies-focused event and due to weather conditions, all other things need to be handled as per the best-suited option basis.

The event schedule, itinerary, group composition, and all operational aspects are subject to change without prior notice. In these uncertain times, we will try to do our best to get things rolling but unavoidable circumstances may impact the operations.
