Blue Whale Nature Association (BWNA) is active in fields pertaining to Nature,Environment, Mountaineering and Astronomy science. Since 2002 we are consecutively organising Nature and adventure summer camps. The association is for those who believe that they can make a difference. BWNA is a platform which gives the opportunity to the students to enhance their knowledge and skills that will assist them in developing theirpersonality.It also helps in developing a sense of perpetual friendships amongst each other bringing them together and creating a healthy atmosphere. This helps the student for Personal Growth, building Self confidence, Leadership skills, and Teamwork. We try to achieve this by regularly conducting Treks and Camps for students at various locations.

We always visit remote mountain ranges and are bound to discover lesser known hills. We feel proud to introduce Shirota Lake View & Forestthrough our summer camp. The area is still unexplored and unknown to many.

Shirota Lake View & Forest:

The area is surrounded byKondeshwar, Dhak fort, Manjarsumbha and Rajmachi fort.We can see brilliant view of mountains and valleys and hairpin turns through forest. The area is ideally situated and approachable from Lonavala or Kamshet. A huge expanse of back water of the lake represents an interesting ecosystem. The Forest is unique in terms of good mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees. A good place to see forest birds like paradise, flycatcher, Pigeon, hornbill, storks, eagles, ducks and other waterfowls.(If you are having binoculars bring it at your own risk)

Participants will also learn the basics of trekking, rappelling and jumaring. This unique combination fosters an appreciation for the environment, develops self-esteem, instils a spirit of adventure, and promotes teamwork, and friendship, through memorable wilderness experiences.
