Herpetology Camp at Amboli

Amboli is a serene hill station nestled in the Sahyadri ranges of southern Maharashtra and is one of the Western Ghats' richest biodiversity hotspots. Known for its evergreen forests, heavy monsoon rains, and mist-covered valleys, Amboli offers an ideal habitat for an incredible diversity of reptiles and amphibians, making it one of India's most sought-after destinations for herpetology.

The forests of Amboli are home to a fascinating array of herpetofauna, including the endemic Amboli Toad, Malabar Pit Viper, shieldtails, vine snakes, geckos, and numerous species of frogs that emerge with the monsoon. Its unique combination of dense forests, rocky plateaus, and perennial streams supports many rare and endemic species found only in the Western Ghats.

Join us as we explore Amboli's lush forest trails after dark and discover the extraordinary world of reptiles and amphibians hidden within one of India's most remarkable biodiversity hotspots.
