From Nipani, drive further (about 2 hours or so) via Nipani Ajra Link Rd and Amboli Ajra Road until you reach Dashrath Vada Pav, just a little ways ahead of Amboli hill station. Here, there’s a row of vendors selling food, tea, coffee and snacks. Enjoy piping hot vada pav, bhajjia, and Maggi (all priced between INR 20 – 50 each) while you drink in the breathtaking view of the Sahyadris. Watch out for monkeys, and don’t make the mistake of feeding them – they can get pretty aggressive when they see food.
You might pass a few waterfalls along the way, but the main Amboli Ghat Waterfall stop is just walking distance from the food stalls. This is the proper (and most importantly, FREE) tourist attraction – complete with a set of concrete steps to make it more accessible. If it’s not raining too hard (Amboli is said to be one of the wettest places in Maharashtra), you should stop for a quick dip and an Instagram photo-op!
