- Amsam83Mumbai, India498 contributionsI have one key piece of advice: Go early in the morning!
We decided to venture out amidst the gentle drizzle of the monsoon season. The decision was well rewarded. The greenery, refreshed and vibrant from the rains, was truly mesmerising. The views we were greeted with were nothing short of spectacular. The spot boasts a near 270-degree panoramic view, encompassing both Mahabaleshwar and the equally enchanting Panchgani. The sight of misty hills against the backdrop of dense forests and valleys and river was a visual treat.
However, a word of caution for those who dislike crowds: the traffic intensifies significantly after 11 a.m., especially on a packed weekend. We noticed an increasing number of vehicles making their way to the viewpoint as we were leaving, causing slight congestion. The parking lot, spacious though it may be, was quickly filling up and turning into a jam-packed area. Thus, to truly savor the serene beauty of this place, it's advisable to arrive well before the clock strikes 11.
In conclusion, this viewpoint in Mahabaleshwar offers an experience that seamlessly blends the magic of nature with the allure of panoramic vistas. Just remember to set that early alarm, pack some rain gear if you're visiting during the monsoons, and prepare to be spellbound!Written 5 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This land is flat and large, offering clear views of the entire region, its valleys, and hills with no obstructions.
This land is very vast and exploring by walk is not possible. Secondly due to tourist attraction, they are not allowed personal vehicles here. So only option available is going on Horse ride or Tonga. Rates are bit high here. If you are good in bargaining then you will get at right prices.
