Amboli is a small hill station in Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district, tucked into the Western Ghats at about 690 metres. It receives roughly around 7,500 mm of rain a year – among the highest in Maharashtra, earning it the nickname “Cherrapunji of Maharashtra.” The monsoon (June to September) is when it comes alive: waterfalls like Amboli Falls and Nangarta roar, viewpoints such as Shirgaonkar drown in mist, and the forest – a declared Biodiversity Heritage Site since 2021 – hums with rare frogs and reptiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
