Travel: Agumbe

       Agumbe is one of the most scenic places on the Western Ghats of the Southern India. Added to the lush green view all around, the attractions for the visitors is the spectacular sunset and vast opportunities it offers to the trekkers.

      If you are looking for a peaceful break for a few days from the hectic city life, away from the crowded and commercialized attractions, then this is the place for you.

  

     Agumbe is among the places that receive high rainfall and is rightly called the Cherrapunji of South India. Agumbe also served the screening of most of the episodes of one of the most popular television serial Malgudi Days based on R.K Narayan's novel.

      The inspection bunglow and the guest house at the bus stand are the two commercial places where the visitors can opt to stay. They are available on a first come first serve basis and the Inspection bunglow gives the first preference to government officlials.
