What to Expect

🌿

In the garden

Fireflies concentrate at forest edges — exactly where villa gardens meet the treeline. No trekking required.

⏱️

15–20 minutes

The synchronised display peaks just after sunset, 7:30–9:00 pm. It builds slowly and is breathtaking at its peak.

📅

Two-week window

Triggered by the first pre-monsoon shower. The window is narrow — book for late May to maximise your chances.
