About Agumbe

Agumbe is a remote hill village in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, perched at an altitude of 660 metres and known as the Cherrapunji of South India due to its extraordinarily high rainfall. The village is shrouded in mist for much of the year and offers dramatic landscapes, pristine forests, and a palpable sense of isolation that attracts adventure seekers and nature photographers. It is a gateway to some of the most biodiverse regions in India, home to king cobras, flying squirrels, and rare species of wildlife.

💡Why Visit?

Agumbe offers an otherworldly experience of perpetual mist, misty forests, and pristine untouched nature that few places in India can match. It is an ideal base for trekking, waterfall hunting, and spotting king cobras in their natural habitat.
