Perched high in the Western Ghats, this viewpoint draws nature lovers and photographers for its breathtaking landscape, misty skies, and dramatic hues during sunset. It's a peaceful spot that perfectly captures the untouched beauty of Agumbe’s rainforest environment.
Kundadri Hills:
Kundadri Hills is a serene hilltop located about 17 km from Agumbe, known for its ancient 17th-century Jain temple and panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and forests. The hill is surrounded by dense vegetation and small lakes, making it a popular spot for nature lovers, trekkers, and spiritual seekers alike. The climb or drive to the top is rewarding, especially during the early morning or late evening when the views are most mesmerizing.

Jogi Gundi Falls is a hidden gem located close to Agumbe, known for its unique setting where water flows out of a cave into a natural pool.
