Amboli - Weekend Fun at the Mystic lush green Western Ghats

Amboli - Mesmerizing experience !! 

It was one more lazy Sunday, Me and my colleague decided to go somewhere and the plan was to go in and around amboli to explore the scenic beauty of Western ghats.

Just 70km from Belgaum, Amboli attracts lots of tourists from North Karnataka. It’s a weekend hangout for many Belgaum people. Amboli is famous for its waterfalls and viewpoints. While monsoon is the best time to visit when waterfalls are in full, the post monsoon season provides some nice views.

After having some refreshment we drove towards amobli. We were a team of 3 -> Viresh sir, me & Vinayak. 
Very soon we entered Maharashtra. The difference was easily noticeable as there were no English boards and even the numbers were written in Marathi. But road quality was same as in Karnataka. Its pre monsoon, climate was humid and I was sweating and thought to go back to BELGAUM . But to my surprise there were drizzles as we neared to Hirenyakeshi.

Spot 1: Hirenyakeshi

This is the source of river Krishna and it owes its holy waters to the Shiva temple at the cave where the water originates.

Spot 2: Mahadevgad Point

Awesome Amboli - Mahadevgad

Chilling weather and the natural beauty of green hills, soaked in mild showers and mystic fog is perfectly exquisite.

Surrounded by a thick canopy of trees and dense forest cover, when viewed from top gives a tranquilizing feel.

Spot 3: Kavala sath point

This view point is much more beautiful. It provides a complete view of the lush green valley. Several waterfalls can be seen on both sides of the valley. This will be an amazing place during monsoon.

This is the view during pre-monsoon visit

Lush green view from Kavala sath point

Bunch of unique mountain flowers at kavala sath point

Still there are many amazing spots to explore. Some of the mesmerizing views from roadside points.

An awesome hut somewhere between choukul and sirgaonkar point

Green Steps. Amazing isnt that?

Finally the actual spot to visit - AMBOLI WATERFALL

It was then time to visit Amboli waterfalls. It is just next to the main road. This is the only place in Amboli where you will find loads of people.  It is always filled with people. Steps are constructed to the falls. People take bath and spend a long time under water. <If u want good photos of falls without people , then visit on week days>

In all It was an amazing experience and a fun filled weekend. Cheers Viresh sir finally we executed the plan :D

Viresh sir & me !!
