Why visit Amboli in the monsoon if you are in Goa

WILD AMBOLI

The monsoon in Amboli, a hill station closest to Goa's North, brings the Western Ghats (known as Sahyadris in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra) alive with the sound of croaking frogs and glowing fireflies.

FEEL ON CLOUD NINE

In the day time, one can gaze out from Amboli’s hilltop points and watch valleys vanish into the clouds.

HAVEN OF HILLS

On your way up to Amboli, you will see that every curve hides a hill point with a jaw-dropping view.

DEVOTION CALLS

Visit the Hiranyakeshi temple which is situated 5 kms from the Amboli bus stand. This temple is the point from where the Hiranyakeshi river originates.

INTO THE STILLNESS

Late evenings in Amboli are made for quiet awe and the occasional animal sighting, if you have a keen eye.

WILD ENCOUNTERS

In the darkness of the night, Amboli transforms into a glowing canvas of mist and magic, setting the stage for a spellbinding encounter with its elusive wildlife.

WHERE VALLEYS WHISPER

If you have nothing to do, just stand atop Sahyadri cliffs and feel the wind rush from the green valleys below.

NATURE'S BALCONY

Amboli’s monsoon charm can be best witnessed at two of its highest points: Mahadev Gad (in picture) and Kavlesad.
