About Nangartas Waterfall
Nangartas Waterfall is a seasonal cascade located approximately 10 kilometers from Amboli in Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra. Situated adjacent to the Belgaum-Sawantwadi Highway, the waterfall plunges about 40 feet into a narrow gorge and is named for its resemblance to a ploughshare (nangar). It features a designated viewing platform and bridge for safe observation. The site includes a small temple dedicated to Shri Nangardev at its entrance and is primarily active during the monsoon season.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect to view a 40-foot waterfall cascading into a narrow gorge from a designated concrete bridge and viewing platform. A small temple of Shri Nangardev is located at the entrance. During the monsoon, the water flow is intense and creates a loud roar, while roadside stalls may offer tea and snacks. The area can be crowded in peak season, and visitors should remain on marked paths due to slippery rocks and steep cliffs.
