Amboli is a hill station in south Maharashtra, India. At an altitude of 690 m it is the last hill station before the coastal highlands of Goa.
If you’re tired of the beachy vibe of Goa and want to experience something cooler and greener, this is the place to be. But don’t take our word for it, let us take you on a journey through the seasons in Amboli!
Winter is the best time to visit Amboli, between October and February. The weather is just right, with temperatures between 10°C and 30°C. It’s the perfect season to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the many activities that Amboli has to offer. You won’t be sweating bullets or shivering in your boots, so pack your bags and head on over!
Summer, on the other hand, is not the ideal time to visit. It’s hot and dry, with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 40°C. Not the best weather for sightseeing, but perfect for relaxing in the shade with a cool drink in hand.
But wait, don’t count Amboli out just yet! Monsoon season, from June to September, is when Amboli truly shines. The town is situated at an altitude of 690 m at the Konkan range, making it the second-highest rainfall region in Maharashtra. The waterfalls and green forests are at their best during this season, and the mist that greets the morning is simply magical. Sure, the humidity might be a bit high, but we promise the sights and sounds will more than make up for it!
The drive into Amboli is with many twists and turns on a steep hill. But trust us, it’s worth it! With each kilometre, you’ll see more of the hills around, and the captivating backdrop of the forest will take your breath away. The shops in the town are basic but cater to all your needs, from ATMs to toy stores featuring handmade wooden items. And let’s not forget the numerous restaurants serving up tasty dishes!
Amboli Water Falls is the best sight in Amboli Ghat. During the rainy season, it’s a sight to cheer, with water flowing everywhere onto the roads. But in the dry season, it’s just like any other waterfall. So, plan your visit accordingly! Major attractions in Amboli include the Shiva temple at the start of the Hiranykeshi River, the Echo Valley, Sunset lookout (with its stunning views), and some great hikes. And if you’re looking to spend a few minutes learning about holistic yoga and verdanta, the ashram (Holistic Centre for Yoga and Verdanta) is the perfect place to stop by.
In conclusion, Amboli is a must-visit destination for all nature lovers out there. So, pack your bags, hop on a bus or hire a car, and get ready for a journey filled with beautiful scenery, stunning waterfalls, and misty mornings. Just don’t forget your raincoat and sense of adventure!
