Night trek to Prabalgad Machi (Fireflies special) on 11-12th June 2016 with Vibes Outdoors

Hello Vibers,
We are glad to invite you for Night trek to Prabalgad Machi (Fireflies special) on 11-12th June 2016







Prabalgad Fort- also known as Muranjan and Pradhangad, is located between Matheran and Panvel in the Indian state of Maharashtra, at an elevation of 2300 feet in theWestern Ghats. It was built on a plateau very close to Matheran, but unlike Matheran it does not have a good source of water. It was known as Muranjan until it was taken over and renamed by the Maratha forces under Shivaji's rule

Fireflies : Fireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies. This process is called bioluminescence and is shared by many other organisms, mostly sea-living or marine organisms. Fireflies light up to attract a mate. To do this, the fireflies contain specialized cells in their
abdomen that make light.
