BAMNOLI
Bamnoli (Javali T; 17° 40' N, 73° 45' E; RS. Satara Road 34 m. SE; p. 1,059), village which lies seven miles south-west of Medha, is the starting point in the Koyna valley for the Amboli pass connecting it with the Konkan. The village is and has been a local market from early times and has six shops of traders. Sunday is the bazar day. Weekly bazar is held in winter and summer when vegetables, food grains and other articles are sold. There is a beaten track not good even for bullock-carts connecting Bamnoli to Medha. The track is washed away by rains during monsoon and it becomes difficult to cross the big hill-range lying between Medha and Bamnoli.
The village may be submerged under the Koyna dam in near future. Like Tambi, Bamnoli was a small administrative centre under the Maratha Government.
