Places to Visit

Durga Fort :
Durga is a small fort with no remnants just a hill with many stones lying atop. At the base of the fort there is a small temple of Ma Durga.
Dhakoba :
Being the highest point on the plateau Dhakoba offers commanding view of the surrounding. One can spot, Naneghat, Jivdhan, Durga, Ahupe, Gorakhgad from here.
The main thrill is the view of the straight falling cliffs in the konkan area.
Darya Ghat / Amboli Ghat :This is one of the ancient pass connecting Amboli village of the Ghat with the Palu village in Konkan.
