Monsoon tour to Amboli

                                 Indradhanu Foundation
                           organized 
              Monsoon tour to Amboli

Information about trip :

Kown as            : Amboli Ghats*

Region               : Sahyadri hills in the Sindhudurg district

Trip Type           : Trail

Difficulty level    : Easy

Batch strength   : 18 max

The beautiful hill-station of Amboli is rightly called the ‘queen’ of Maharashtra; such is its natural splendour. Famous among environmentalists as a precious ecological hotspot, it is cool, calm, serene and enriched with all the treasures that the world of flora and fauna can bestow upon it. Located in the princely state of Sawantwadi, Amboli is located on the ridge of the Western Ghats and is particularly majestic during the monsoon when impromptu waterfalls gush down the hilly terrain. 

Located 529 kilometers from Mumbai and well-connected by road, the railway station nearest to it is at Sawantwadi Road on the Konkan railway line while the closest airport is at Dabolim in Goa. Amboli is situated at an altitude of 690 meters above the sea level and its amazing topography comprises dense forest area with a large number of waterfalls which increase in number during the rains. In fact, it is the heavy rainfall of an average of 750 centimeters per year which results in such thick growth of trees and plants along the hillsides. The hill-station was a favorite with the British rulers and it is said that Colonel Westrop was the one who took special efforts in developing this place. Winter is actually the perfect season to visit Amboli and some of the points that are a ‘must see’ include the Nangartas Waterfall, Hiranyakeshi, Sea View Point, and Mahadevgad. Kavlesaad Point is another interesting point from where you can get a view of the Sahyadri ranges.

However, for those who would like to add a little more mysticism to their visit, choose to go during the monsoon season. The entire region gets covered with a dense fog during several times a day. It is then that you can actually experience the power of silence and how nature makes it own music. Meanwhile, don’t forget to stop by at the HiranyakeshiMandir. It is from here that the river Hiranyakeshi originates. The approach road is rough but the destination provides a wonderful experience. You would in fact want to spend hours at this calm and peaceful spot. The river ultimately flows through Karnataka where it is known as Ghataprabha. There’s also a small temple dedicated to Parvati.

Places to Visit :

·         Amboli Waterfall: A waterfall just 3 kms from town centre and a popular visit option. Waterfall is at its best during monsoon.

·         Nangarta Fall: A waterfall at 10 kms from Amboli and a popular visit option. Waterfall is at its best during monsoon.

·         MahadeoGad:View points that overlooks Konkan and the twin forts, Manohar & Santosh Gad

·         Hiranyakeshi Temple: At Hiranyakeshi, The river springs out from the mouth of a cave has a small Shiva Temple there.
