Tumbbad is located in the Konkan coastal belt, characterized by a humid tropical climate and heavy monsoon rainfall. The village’s terrain combines coastal‑plain features near the river and hilly forested tracts typical of the Western Ghats region. The Jagbudi River and the surrounding forested hills form part of the natural environment of the area.[2]
Demographics & Administration
As per available sources, Tumbbad remains a small settlement, its article currently lacks detailed demographic data. The village’s administrative affiliation is under Khed taluka of Ratnagiri district. More exact information regarding population, literacy, and household numbers can be added once census or government data is located.
Ecology and Environment
The region around Tumbbad lies close to parts of the Western Ghats, a biodiversity‑rich zone. The local ecosystem is likely to include typical Konkan/Western Ghats flora and fauna. Historically, one public note mentions that the area is known for “mugger crocodiles” in its waterways.
Given its location near forested hills and riverine environment, Tumbbad may be home to a variety of species (flora/fauna) though detailed ecological studies or surveys would be needed to confirm and document biodiversity, forest cover, conservation status, etc.
Cultural Significance & Popular Culture
In contemporary times, Tumbbad has gained notoriety due to the 2018 Indian historical‑fantasy horror film Tumbbad, which is set in a fictionalized version of this village. Wikipedia
This brings a certain cultural or popular‑culture interest to the village, which may impact tourism, local identity, and outside interest in the area.
Tourism, Attractions & Potential
The natural setting — river (Jagbudi), hills, forested surroundings — gives Tumbbad potential for eco‑tourism, trekking, river‑side stays, and cultural tourism (especially due to film association).
However, the current article does not describe local amenities, infrastructure, or tourism facilities. Including such information (road access, nearest towns/railheads, transport, lodging, local livelihoods) would considerably improve the article.
Given its ecological background, there may be scope for environmental tourism or conservation‑related information (wildlife, forest cover, river ecology), if data is available.
