Kolhapur to Amboli
Kolhapur, Maharashtra → Amboli
110 km · Jun – Sep · Moderate
A monsoon ghat. Waterfalls on the tarmac, laterite cuttings, and a hill station that only makes sense when it is raining. The rest of the year it is just a quiet road.

The last town before the hills close in.

If the cloud lifts. It often does not, and that is fine.

- Road
- Good state highway until the ghat, then wet, narrow, and occasionally blocked by a fall of water. Landslides after heavy nights.
Tips
- 01
Go in the rain
Dry Amboli is a footnote. Wet Amboli is the drive.
- 02
Lights on, no overtaking
The spray is the other car. You will not see it in time.

July. The waterfall was on the tarmac. Wipers on, windows down. Dry Amboli is not this road.
