Overview

At about approximately 23 kms from Satara city, one can visit the very beautiful and scenic Kaas Plateau. The Plateau is splendid and awesome places to visit where one can enjoy oneself in rains amidst the mystical clouds that feather touch you. You can walk along this long Plateau with your friends and loved ones and enjoy the marvels of the nature. The natural green carpet all around this place lifts ones mood to other world. Every single droplet makes you feel rejuvenated and you can breathe the fresh and refreshing air which lightens your senses. As you go along the Plateau you reach the Kaas Lake. Kaas Lake is a man-made lake and is the main drinking source to the city. The lake is surrounded by lush green trees. During the rainy season Lake becomes a visual treat as the clouds settle on the water giving you the heaven like experience.
The location is a calm and surrounded by forests. The Kasaidevi temple is near this lake. This lake is man-made lake. The Kass lake provides drinking water to Satara city. While travailing to Kaas lake you will see Yewateshwar Temple. Kaas lake is the popular picnic spot. You will find many youngsters here in rainy season. The famous spots Bamnoli and Tapola are located near from Kass lake.
Flowers & plants in hues of yellow, blue, red, green and white blanket both sides of the road. The riot of colours last for about 2 to 3 kms. I suggest parking your vehicles on the roadside and taking a tour off road - walking in the colourful fields dotted by ponds with smiling water lilies.
Kaas Plateau and Lake are full in blossom after the rainy season in the month of August and September. Varied varieties of flowers with all different colors are in full bloom. This is the indeed the best time for the enthusiastic photographers to grab their cameras and head start out to Kaas. One can capture different flowers here which are indeed incredible to watch, as such this is aptly titled as "Valley of Flowers".
