One of Maharashtra’s most picturesque vacation spots is the Kaas plateau in the Satara district and the surrounding areas. In August and September, tourists swarm to the region as the plateau is transformed by the profusion of colourful flower species that bloom. However, beyond the varied views the Kaas plateau offers, numerous other locations worth visiting should be more appreciated. By looking at our suggestions, you can enhance your vacation at Kas Pathar Satara.
Kaas plateau: How to reach?
It’s simple to travel by air, rail, or road to reach Mumbai or Pune, but getting to the valley of flowers is the real challenge.
The best way to reach here is either by car or bus.
Local transportation services, however, are infrequent and may take longer than usual. The Kaas plateau is easily accessible by auto-rickshaw for those travelling from Satara.

Kaas lake
The stunning Kaas lake is located just beyond the Kaas plateau. This lake is among the most picturesque places nearby because mountains and hills surround it. You can leave your cars parked on the road and walk to the lake. Some snacks, soft drinks, and chatai will make for a perfect picnic by the lake!
The more daring visitors can even go on a brisk hike on the nearby Kaas plateau, taking in the scenery and savouring the escape from the city’s bustle in a brand-new way. A word of caution: even though it’s not against the law, swimming in the lake could be risky.

Homestay in Kaas village
The Kaas village is located 3 km from the Kaas Plateau, beyond the lake. The Kirdat family has established a charming homestay with a lake view. This is the choice to make if your visit’s sole goal is to unwind and take in the beautiful Kaas plateau weather. Five rooms can hold 20 to 25 people at once and have attached western bathrooms. Try the food prepared on the traditional chulha stove with ingredients from the area!

Vajrai waterfall
A lengthy trip to the Vajrai waterfall is worthwhile if you visit the Kaas plateau and the lake. A muddy road from the Kaas village leads to the falls. The impressive three-stepped Vajrai waterfall is visible from a distance if you park your cars in the Kaas village and then take the trail that leads to the end of the road that overlooks the valley. Seeing the entire valley, the waterfall, and the low, floating clouds is truly magical. It is best to observe the waterfall from a distance. Please refrain from making the trek down the cliff or even to the waterfall’s beginning.

Thoseghar waterfall
The Tarali river’s starting point is located here, 20 kilometres from Satara and 35 kilometres from the Kaas plateau. The Satara Forest Department has worked tirelessly to make the falls, among the most beautiful in the area, accessible to tourists, making it the ideal location for an alternative Kaas plateau trek.
The waterfall is nearly 200 metres high and extremely rough, so it is forbidden to enter it or hike down the valley. The well-paved path from the entrance to the waterfall’s vantage point travels through charming forest patches—200 metres in height. The track is well-paved and travels through lovely patches from the entrance to the waterfall’s viewing area.
