Kas Plateau Tour from Mumbai | Kaas Pathar Flower Valley Booking
Book Kas Plateau Tour from Mumbai. Explore Kaas Pathar flower valley with AC bus travel, entry passes, meals, and guided walks. 1-day and stay options available. Kaas Plateau tour is scheduled from 17-Sep-2027 to 17-Oct-2027. Kas Plateau, officially known as Kaas Pathar and Kaas Plateau, is a basalt plateau located approximately 25 kilometres west of Satara city in Maharashtra. It was formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity. In 2012, Kaas became part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage site network due to its exceptional biodiversity, housing hundreds of species of wild flowering plants, orchids, and carnivorous flora.
During the late monsoon season, Kas transforms into Maharashtra’s Valley of Flowers. Because the plateau is roughly 280 kilometres from Mumbai, reaching it for early morning exploration requires an overnight road journey. A well-planned group tour handles the late-night transit, forest department permits, regional meals, and entry logistics, allowing you to spend adequate time walking the demarcated trails before daytime heat and crowds arrive.
We’ve scheduled our overnight Kaas Plateau flower valley tour (night travel, return next day) across September and October dates! While locking in your seats for the bloom, you can also join us for weekend Midnight Cycling in Mumbai, grab early passes for our Holi Pool Party 2027, or set up a tailored private itinerary for Dwarka and Somnath.

Responsible Photography Guidelines:
Kaas Plateau is a sensitive UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Visitors and photographers must remain strictly within designated pathways and walking fences. Stepping off marked paths to set up tripods or achieve low-angle shots damages delicate root systems and trampling micro-habitats. Drones are restricted across the reserve area. On our Mumbai Travel Club tours, participants are allocated dedicated walking time to explore and photograph the main designated sectors of the plateau at an unhurried pace.
- Kaas Pathar Flower Valley: Explore the UNESCO World Natural Heritage site on foot and witness seasonal wildflowers, orchids, and insectivorous plants.
- Kumudini Lake: Walk along the trail leading to the natural shallow lake covered with native floating water lilies.
- Beat the Crowds: Early morning entry allows you to explore the flower beds before heavy afternoon visitor traffic and heat build up.
- Authentic Regional Meals: Enjoy freshly cooked local Maharashtrian breakfast and vegetarian lunch at the base village.
- Hassle-Free Overnight Transit: Direct overnight pickup and return across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai in an AC bus, eliminating the need to arrange separate accommodation.
