NH 66 via Ratnagiri → Kudal → Sawantwadi → Amboli or via Kolhapur → Ajra → Amboli MaharashtraHistory & Significance
Amboli's history is closely tied to the Bhonsle rulers of Sawantwadi, who used the hill station as a summer retreat during the 18th century. The British later developed it as a formal hill station in the colonial period for its cool climate. Amboli is part of the Western Ghats UNESCO World Heritage zone and has gained recognition as a biodiversity hotspot, with scientists discovering several new species of frogs, geckos, and plants unique to this microhabitat. The hill station remains refreshingly uncommercial compared to more popular alternatives.
