If you are planning for the monsoon trip then AMBOLI is the best place to visit.
Amboli is a hill station in south Maharashtra . At an altitude of 690 meters it is the last hill station before the coastal highlands of Goa and a relatively unexplored one. Amboli lies in the Sahayadri Hills of Western India .
The main attraction for tourists is the incredibly high rainfall (7 meters average per year!) and the numerous waterfalls and mist during the monsoons.
How to get there?
Amboli is well connected by road to all the surrounding cities by road and the nearest airport is at Goa , about 2 hours drive away. All the roads are good and a new airport is expected to come up in north Goa shortly, reducing the traveling time to just over an hour. If you are planning to travel by Konkan Railway then ‘ Savantwadi Road ’ is the nearest railway station.
