Amboli Waterfall

Located a little over 500km from Mumbai, Amboli is a small town that lies quiet for the greater part of the year. Located at a height of 2,000 feet, it’s the last hill station in Maharashtra before the Western Ghats drop off to the coast of Goa. It’s only during peak monsoon that the place sees a rush of tourists who arrive to enjoy the hilly springs. Along with them come naturalists eager to catch a glimpse of the amphibians and reptiles that come out in droves in these hills. These include the Malabar gliding frog, the fungoid frog, the bicolour frog, the Amboli bush-frog, the Amboli toad, Beddome’s Cat Snake, Ceylon Cat Snake, Green Vine Snake, Malabar Pit Viper and various caecilians.

Getting There
