Amboli
Till end of summer, we had been traveling to the deciduous jungles spotting the wild life in the form of bigger mammals, big cats and birds. We even had experienced the migratory birds in places like Bharatpur and Bhigwan during winters. But there is another hidden world which we have not explored to its fullest. Yes, I am talking about the evergreen forest of the western ghats. This world invites us to explore its beauty during Monsoon.
Yes, we are talking about Amboli in Monsoon. So far many tourists have explored it to enjoy the big waterfalls and greenery. iCampers invite you to explore the same place with some different perspective! Lets go in this green valley to explore the in-numerous reptiles and amphibians. For herping, Amboli is one of the world’s “Eco Hot-Spots”.
Amboli is a paradise for all nature lovers. Situated close to the Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka tri-state border in the Western Ghats at an altitude of 2,260ft. Its a paradise for Amphibian and Reptiles lover. One can find many types of amphibians and reptiles in this dense forest of Amboli. Trails through the thick fog in the lush green Jungle during nights would carve the long lasting memories!!
iCampers has tailor made this camp for working professionals and the students to fit on the holidays. we make sure that you make optimum use of the weekend and stuff in full amount amount of entertainment and excitement in the available days. This camp is also a pleasure for the driving enthusiasts to enjoy the wonderful highways and the road through lush greenery around Amboli.
