If you are a nature lover who wants to witness unspoiled beauty of the Indian rainforest, add the tiny hamlet of Agumbe to your itinerary. It is nestled in one of the last surviving rainforest of Western Ghat mountains in the south India state of Karnataka. It is also one of the rainiest places in the country, but the monsoon season is actually the best time to visit. This is when the gorgeous waterfalls of the area are at their most powerful. Many hikers trek through the thick rainforest to be rewarded by the rushing waters of Kunchikal falls and Barkana falls. The rainforest is also home to many unique plants and animals, and is even known as the “Cobra Capital” because of the many snakes found here. Don’t worry, encounters between humans and snakes are rare! Read on for our pick of the best homestays near Agumbe, India.
