about whistling woods

the harmony of Comfort ….

experience amboli

amazing amboli …

Amboli is a small town and tourist destination located in the Sindhudurg district in the Indian state of Maharashtra with one of the few evergreen rainforest of Maharashtra. It served as the summer capital of Sawantwadi State in the pre-independence era.

Amboli attracts a large number of holidaymakers and honeymooners because of its greenery and large biodiversity. All is calm and quiet with only a bird heard singing somewhere in the distance. Mornings and evenings are punctuated by loud calls of junglefowl, while langoors and macaques chatter in the treetops.

 

feel the freshness

dip in …..

The cool crisp air is fresh with the fragrance of mountain flowers and herbs. Amboli is a charming hill station at an altitude of 710 m ASL in the picturesque southern range of Western Ghats. The way up is easily motor able. The road slowly winds its way though hairpin curves surrounded by greenery.  In summer, the mercury barely manages to reach 30 C. The climate is pleasant throughout the year. During monsoons, the Sun plays truant for days.

Explore the scenic views of misty hills and rolling meadows during rainy season. Amboli’s landscape provides a good backdrop for the frames of a trigger happy photographer. It is also a trekker’s delight. Its enchanting wooded slopes and paths with carpets of moss are excellent for a leisurely stroll.

If bird watching is your true sport, get ready to identify 200 species of birds. Experience the excitement of your first glimpse of the Scarlet Minivet; spot a Paradise Flycatcher; catch the sapphire blue flash of a Kingfisher skimming the surface of river bed for fish!

Amboli’s spectacular variety of plant life, reptiles, amphibians & mammals will undoubtedly keep you spellbound for hours. Our jungle safari provides you a chance to experience these jungle joys, while you trek or drive through the thick forest.. A number of animals that inhabit the dense forest can also be sighted like Sambar, Barking deer, Porcupines, Sloth bear, Squirrels or even a Leopard.
