Amba Ghat - (Around 50 kms from Ratnagiri, 400 kms from Mumbai and 260 kms from Pune) Amba Ghat (2000+ ft asl) lies 65-70 kms from Kolhapur on the Kolhapur - Ratnagiri Highway. Amba Ghat is surrounded by rainforests and Bison Wildlife Sanctuary.
The area is excellent for a nature centric getaway and bird watchers. Jeep Safaris in reserve forest around is possible.
Amba Ghat lies off the NH-4 (Mumbai - Bangalore highway via Pune) / NH-17 (Mumbai - Goa Coastal Highway) and therefore is an excellent stopover on the Dandeli - Mumbai / Pune route or Goa / Chorla Ghat - Mumbai Route.
Seasonality - Visited all round the year. June-Sept is best time of the year as the area comes alive as several waterfalls spontaneously come alive. Oct - March is best time to visit the area for Migratory birds.
Local Site seeing- Jungle safari - Bison is usually sighted. Other flora and fauna is very special.
- Beautiful Manoli Dam
- Wagh zaraa
- Gaondara fall is worth to visit during rainy season (June to September)
- 'Sadaa' is the highest point to see the valley.
