Mahadev Gad — Attraction in Maharashtra

Perfect sunset point in the Amboli hills. Approx. an hour from Sawantwadi town. First meander through the Amboli ghat taking in ever mesmerizing views. The 2.5km side road to get to the view point is through forest land and not well maintained. Be prepared for stretches of gravel and numerous pot holes.
