If you are staying overnight in Matheran, this point is worth going to before sunset. Watch the sun dip behind the mountains and paint everything golden. Its very beautiful.

When I visited Matheran, the weather was very foggy and this viewpoint was of no use. I couldnt see anything from here!

The sunset is breath taking at this point. This place has two points, one is the sunset point and the other is the porcupine point. From porcupine point you get 360 degree view of the valley. Monkeys are a menace everywhere in Matheran, they snatch anything that resembles food or drinks and they are really quick. They may attack you for the food. It is advisable not to carry any food, rather carry a stick to drive away monkeys.

Though we just managed to reach 5 minutes before the sunset time, we had a fantastic view of the orange yellow setting sun behind the mountain ranges. Awesome.

Search for MATHERAN MAPS on google.
Map for all the points to see at Matheran is available on google. You can check Louisa point & Porcupine point in the map.
You can take a horse ride from 1 point to another.
Horse ride is available in Matheran to cover various points according to your choices.
We have taken ride starting from King George point, then Edward Point, Echo Point, Honeymoon point, Louisa point & ended at Porcupine point.
We wanted to enjoy the walk between the woods from porcupine point to market area, so we covered that by walk.
If you have problem in walking or you are not fond of walking, don't prefer, it took around an hour to cover the distance from porcupine point to market due to sloping road.
Still if you have any doubt, feel free to ask me
By what time should one leave for this place??

We walked all the way to the sunset point, so it took us almost an hour to reach. So you can leave by 4:00 to reach there if you walk. If you take a horse ride you will reach earlier. Hope I answered your question :)
