Nearest cities are Sawantwadi, Kolhapur, Belgao. Exiting travel from Sawantwadi via Amboli Ghat... (You required high skilled driving).... Public transport is about every hr from Sawantwadi (ST buses) Some time heavy mansoon leads to land slidding in ghat, this can stopped you to travel to your most amazing destinationn .. AMBOLI.
