Kothaligad

plans for you to enjoy another fun-filled weekend with fireflies,

About Fireflies: -
Fireflies belong to the family of beetles, and not flies as
they are commonly mistaken for. These nocturnal winged beetles use
bioluminescence, a chemical reaction when oxygen combines with luciferin, which
is present in the lower abdomen of the insect to produce light.
All fireflies glow as larvae. Bioluminescence serves a
different function in the larvae than in adults. It appears to be a warning
signal to predators, for, the larvae contain chemicals that are either
distasteful or toxic.
About Kothaligad
Kothaligad is a Fort with a height of 3100 ft above sea
LEVEL. It is also known as the Fort of Peth because of its vicinity to Peth
village at its base. There are a small temple and large cave at the base and a
chimney like a tunnel to the top of the fort. This pinnacle is carved from
inside forming a staircase reaching the top.
