Beside the Sahayadri mountain range, bordering the Dang-Vyara forests, with the Ambika River flowing alongside, right in the middle of the Unai forest range.

The Padamdungari Interpretation centre is a modern attempt at unraveling the secrets of nature. It includes dioramas, interactive exhibits, panels and a nature trail.

What to see?

Treks, trails, winding up and down the hillocks, sunset activity, observation towers, relaxing woodlands, and medicinal groves are proposed attractions when you visit Padamdungari. The scenic site has deep, dense, multi-storied forests, genetic diversity, rocky, undulating, & enriched landscapes.
