Kaas plateau of flowers, a few kilometers ahead of Satara, is a magical piece of land and is one of the global biodiversity hotspots. The place displays one of the most spectacular natural events of wild Maharashtra during the latter half of the year. With hundreds of shades of millions of tiny wild flowers spreading across the horizon, the nostalgic earthen smell of the soil along with the dramatic play of lights amidst the clouds against the blue vast sky make a truly breathtaking spectacle for a human eye. The lateritic soil crust of this place being very thin, is deficient of nutrients and thus doesn’t nurture growth of big trees and shrubs. Lack of much of grass here therefore avoids the grazing animals and hence these wild flowers get abundance of sunlight, water and air thus creating carpet layers of flowers in various stages of bloom as far as vision goes. Then there are the insectivorous plants in abundance throughout the plateau. Kaas, is not only a botanist’s paradise but also a photographers heaven.

Remember that the plateau has many rare, endangered and threatened, unique plant species, found nowhere in the world other than this place. It is our responsibility to protect these and avoid extinction. If we take care of the plateau and enjoy the beauty, without hurting it, it will be there for years to come for our enjoyment as well as for our next generations. It is prestigious World Heritage site. Damage to it will be shameful to us as a country. Let us not only put all responsibility on the shoulders of government, but own some responsibility of conservation.
