This September, join The Western Routes as we head to Kaas Plateau. The rich and diverse Kaas plateau can boast of 850 different species of flowers and other plants including orchids, karvy and carnivorous plants such as Drosera indica. Among these, more than 624 species have entered the Red Data Book, which makes them rare and endangered. Out of these 624 species, 39 are found only in Kaas region! At the end of the monsoons, Kaas changes its ‘colours’ and takes up a different avtaar with a vivid carpet of flowers. A must-see for all nature lovers! The flowers, the clear blue skies, the waterfall and the newly installed windmills have a soothing effect on one’s body, mind and soul.
