Located in the Sahyadri Hills of Maharashtra's Sindhudurg district, Amboli is a hill station known for its greenery, waterfalls, and rich biodiversity. Often referred to as the "Cherrapunji of Maharashtra" due to its high rainfall, Amboli offers a retreat for nature enthusiasts and travellers seeking solace amidst nature.
Amboli’s charm goes beyond its natural beauty—it carries echoes of history, once serving as a vital stop on the old Vengurla-Belgaum trade route during British rule. In the 1880s, British officers like Colonel Westrop recognised its potential and developed it into a hill station, while the remains of the Sawant Bhonsle dynasty’s summer residence still whisper tales of a regal past.
