Amboli is a hill station in south Maharashtra, India. At an altitude of 690 m (2,260 ft), it is the last hill station before the coastal highlands of Goa and a relatively unexplored one. It is known as Cherrapunji of Maharashtra because it receives the highest rainfall in the entire state.

Avinash Sawant, a wildlife photographer makes his way to the hill station to capture some amazing stills of these rare species in their natural habitats.


"Below images are captured during my recent visit to this place. This place comes alive during the monsoon which is also the best season for macro, insect and reptile photography.

Photographing these in their natural habitat requires skills, patience and knowledge. One has to trek at night to get the glimpse of these reptiles, which makes photographing these more difficult."
