If you are in pursuit
of peace and solitude, visit Amboli, a tranquil hill station on the Western
Ghats, surrounded by thick forests and tree canopied hills. On the coastal
side, Amboli peers over the tree lined sandy ribbon of the Konkan coast on the
other three sides, you are rewarded by a magnificent panorama of the sweeping
valley.
Snuggling coyly, in the
southern ranges of the Sahyadri hills, Amboli at an altitude of 690 m. is the
last mountain resort before the coastal highlands settle, with a sigh, to form
flat beaches. Visit the numerous viewpoints for a pleasant view of the
lush hills and fertile plains. The Bauxite Mines, 10 kms. away, is a
pleasant and very different excursion. If you're looking to spend a few
days in splendid isolation with your family, Amboli is an ideal resort. Amboli
has a cool and invigorating climate, a welcome respite in summer.
Every year more than 50,000
tourists visit this place. In rainy season you will see beautiful waterfalls
here. And also the sunset point is amazing. Amboli village is well known
as ‘Mahabaleshwar' of konkan. It is an eco-friendly hill station
that promises you an experience to get lost into the spectacular beauty of
nature, nuturing the poet in you. Amboli is an ideal retreat for the
vacationers searching for seclusion and solace.the origin of Hiranyakeshi river
