About Amboli Tourism
Located in the Sahyadri ranges in the Western Ghats, Amboli
is a quaint hill station, surrounded by thick forests of the Anjani
tree and plantations of cardamom; and crisscrossed by a number of tiny
streams. It is situated at a height of 690 m and is particularly known
for the forests and steep mountains on one side and having the sandy
Konkan coast on the other side. This hill station is also the wettest
place in Maharashtra, receiving the maximum rainfall and is popular during the monsoons.
Sightseeing Highlights:
The
main attractions are the many viewpoints that offer panoramic vistas of
the valley such as Sea-view Point, Purvicha Vas, and Mahadevgad Point -
all of which unfold a view of the Konkan coast merging with the Arabian
Sea. Tourists can visit the ruins of Madhavgadh fort in the vicinity. One can also visit the historic botanical gardens and
