Chowkul, a beautiful village just 10 km away from Amboli is a newly developed village tourism project. 

The village has waterfalls, though most of them are monsoon based.

A plateau with colorful flowers. Naturally formed caves. Strawberry plantations. Various hiking routes. 
Variety of butterflies and bird life. And travel in the night to see some real time wildlife.

The villagers of Chowkul have formed a consortium of home stay to offer wide variety of homely accommodation to the tourists. 

The houses are moderate in facilities. But the experience of being guest to the whole village is unique.
