The point is located next to Kate's point. This is a place that would simply take your breath away. An absolutely beautiful and stunning view point that offers unbelievable sight of lush green Western Ghats range, covered with clouds. This looks like heaven in the rain.
This point is situated at the height of 1470 meters above seal level. This point was discovered by British Officers.
This point is on the trail of Arthur point, There are other points as well like echo point and Hunting Point , they are very close to each other and show the view of the same valley but from different angles. Adding a few photos of my last visit. There are few stalls for snacks also available for Maggie and sweet corn. You can enjoy a plate of Maggie with a magnificent view.
It was a little bit foggy as I visited in September but I loved it.
There are few wild cows there, normally they are not harmful but do not try to disturb them and take selfies or feed anything to them(you can ask any nearby stall vendor to feed something, they are pro). Added a photo of that pretty cow as well.
This was my second visit to this point. Because of bad weather and I couldn't go to Arthur's seat. But definitely gonna visit it next time.
The scenic beauty is mesmerizing and simply cannot be captured on camera. One has to come here to experience the beauty of nature. The view of Western ghats from this point is truly marvelous and will surely be etched in your mind.
Caution: do not lean and take selfies. Beware of monkeys.
This point was also good and this area is full of red face monkeys which are expecting food and drinks from visitors. But the place was so beautiful and peaceful.
One of the best view point in Mahabaleshwar. Must visit
