Nestled between the lush green mountains of Western Ghats, variety of flora and fauna welcomes you to experience Mother Nature at her best. At an elevation of 643m above sea level, amidst the contiguous stretch of rain forest trees lies the small town "Agumbe" in Thirthahalli taluk, Shimoga district of Karnataka. Agumbe gets its name from a saint called, "Agumba", who lived here centuries ago. Remnants of the temples here speak stories hailing back to the Hoysala Empire.
India’s most popular fictional TV series “Malgudi days”, which was based on R.K. Narayan’s novel was shot here entirely where Agumbe was shown as the fictional town, “Malgudi” owing to its intense beauty.
Several rare species of medicinal plants exist in Agumbe. It is also the land of King Cobras.
