Beautiful place, had been with colleagues' families. Stayed in Bella Dona 5 BR Villa. The Bus couldn't get in, therefore a walk through about 800 meters through the village and I loved it. There were Strawberry plantation everywhere, Mulberry's are a part of almost every house, plucked some ripen ones on the way. The valley view from the Villa was spectacular. There are many places one can explore here.

A superb experience must say a lot of action activities mountain trekking to horse riding. There are lots of amusement parks and activities you can do here for kids of all ages. Fresh air is the best cool atmosphere and awesome fresh 🍓 and berries a mood changer for family and friends. Lots of points and mountain peaks where you can take your child partner or friends on a fun ride every road and ways are different experiences and stories. Boat ride to horse riding every thing here is awesome and gives you an amazing feeling from the buzz of busy city. A must visit to the mapro factory and cheese factory which will enhance your Mahabaleshwar experience and family would be happy.

Amazing place to visit. We had visited Mahabaleshwar sometime in December- wow, what a climate to enjoy! Everything was so perfect - great scenery, fantastic photos, beautiful lake, clean strawberry farms and after all great food to enjoy. Once you checked into hotel, it’s highly recommend not to take your car / vehicles to the main picnic points as most of the places are very crowded and you will waste lot of time searching for parking! The best choice is to hire taxi and roam around - usually they charge for 4 persons full day @ 1,500/- which is quite decent. Taxi drivers are also really helpful and promptly guide you where to spend time and best locations. In the main market, there are lots of standard / high quality hotels and if you haven’t booked in advance, room tariff can be negotiated and very competitive. Just try Vienna lake, Gocart, Strawberry ice cream, and lot of blissful cool climate. We found only parking and is an issue but otherwise, overall a very good experience well spent time with family.

It is an amazing place one of my favourite destinations to go and chill just relax and enjoy nature. Have also visited most of the tourist points and strawberry farms. Best is to have your own transport and have not seen much public transport. One of the best hill stations. It's best is to book a home stay and have a good time with family or friends. Minimum 2 nights recommended

It was such a pleasant experience to witness nature’s beauty!! There are no tickets to enter. Book a cab and start your journey, Do visit Panchghani for more adventurous experience!! Strawberries are very fresh and organic don’t forget to buy some.

Beautiful hill station, though it was hot in mid feb too. But nice views from there. Mapro garden was awesome. Dont forget to buy flavohred chana and wide variety of chikki from there. Also variety of nice candies. There is Mahabaleshwar temple, such a spiritual place and another temple with five rivers. Auspicious, pious..mapro garden has strawberry cream, which is very famous, but i feel overhyped and much overcharged. Other than that, mapro garden's most products are great

Best hill station to visit either on early monsoon or ending of monsoon. Views are like heaven. Do carry raincoat, umbrella won't help. Hotels and food is good. To enjoy complete, visit with cab or personal vehicle. It's none less than heaven. Market is costly, food is also bit costlier than normal restaurant. But the place, points, views are excellent

What a breathtaking experience I had at Mahabaleshwar Hill Station last year oct 2022! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning panoramic views that surrounded me.

Water is smelly. Too dusty area... Boats are not clean. One time visit is ok.. Good no of food stalls, parking is there...

Vienna lake is a super crowded tourist place. Especially over the weekends. There is boating , games , food , horse riding (costly). The horse riding is really a scam. They take you for a quick 500m round for 3-4 min and charge you 200Rs. Can you believe it ? Initially they tell you they ll take a big round for ten minutes but trust me we hardly got five minutes. Someone will accompany you while taking the round. It’s mostly for kids who are fascinated by the horses. All the horses have their name it’s pretty nice. They are all groomed and well taken care of. The boating looked nice but is super crowded to get a chance. We didn’t try it we just enjoyed the view of the lake from far. The parking here is 50rs.

One of the most famous and widely visited tourist attraction in Mahabaleshwar, specially know for the boat rides and the roadside snacks near to it, also one can take horse rides next to the lake. It's a must visit place in Mahabaleshwar, this is man made lake, it's recommended to visit this place in the Evening during sunset, as the sunset from this point is very beautiful and one shall enjoy the boat ride with a scenic view.

Excellent place to hangout with family and must visit place when you are in Mahabaleshwar. We went there by around 6 pm and found boating was still on. They charged us around 600 rupees for full boat.

Venna lake is one of the most popular and beautiful place to visit in Mahabaleshwar. Anyone who visits here by default visits Venna Lake. There amis horse riding, eateries, horse jump activities in and around the lake. There is boating available in the lake for families to try pedal boating or rowing. The lake is pretty and if you are here during Sun set then you will be able to tale some good photos. From here most of the people the ln go to Mahabaleshwar market for shopping. There is enough parking available here at some parking charges.

The lake is very famous and attracts a great amount of crowd too. It's nice and serene. Except for boating,You can do horse riding near the lake. You'll also find street food here.

Venna Lake is a great tourist attraction spot in Mahabaleshwar. This lake was constructed by Shri Appasaheb Maharaj, who was Raja (King) of Satara in 1842. The length of the lake is 4 km and width is 1.5 kms. The lake is surrounded by green trees. In late evening one can see the clouds passing over lake water. There is a horse ride just next to the lake. Also, lot of food joints on the road. Few local vendors sell carrots and strawberry near the road. I will highly recommend to buy carrots as they are organic and tastes great. Venna Lake is approx 2 kms away from ST stand/ city market. There are few attractions for kids like toy train, toy cups, giant wheel etc. The rates for boating are 500+200 for 30 mins assisted ride. 200 for the boating person. Be careful while using google map as it can direct to other side of lake where you will not be able to reach main lake entrance. Note:- Please like the review if the information is found useful 🙏🏻

Good experience. Enjoyed Row boat for 1/2 hour. Max 07 person including child. 1/2 hour ride - INR 250. Paddle boat -06 person - INR 440 for 1 hour. Outside enjoy Boiled Corn, Mulberry, Pear, raw mangoes for INR 70-80. Horse riding next to it @ INR 150 per round.

Good place to spend a nice time with your loved ones. The pricing of the boat ride is around 500rs and it’s pretty reasonable for the sunset view you pay for.

Beautiful boat ride. The lake is so scenic! Both options available: Self row and row help option available by their staff for boating..

It is very popular spot. The lake had lot of water even in month of April. Boating is available with paddle type and roving type boats. Paddle type boats is to be paddled by users themselves. The roving type boats are operated by boat owners. The lake is big and rides are like a meditation.

Venna lake is a must visit place whenever you are in mahabaleshwar. Always love visiting this place.. So serene and beautiful. Both peddle boat and row boat options are available here for boating. We took a row boat since we didn't want to peddle ourselves. 1200 Rs is the cost for one entire row boat with a person available for rowing for 30 minutes duration. Horse riding is also available near the lake.

A very famous lake in Mahabaleshwar, easy to spot and impossible to miss. It's just after one oats entry fee to Mahabaleshwar. Google may take to the other side of the lake, but just after entry, there are couple of parking places and from there one can enjoy walk to lake. Boating is available. Normal ticket is 400. But queue could be big. Private guys can give ride for 1200 is one want to avoid queue.

Nice and calm place to have a great boat ride. Horse ride also available near the lake. There are two types of rides. One is a peddle ride where we have to peddle to have a ride which is cheap for a longer time period. Another is a ride with a boat oarsman where they give u a person who rows your boat which is privy for less time. But the ride in water is worth it whichever ride you choose. There is a nearby photo booth too for tourists.

PROS: great experience with boating photogenic close to nature good street food CONS: horse riders constantly bug you for taking a ride the place is poorly maintained due the horses, its smelly and nobody cleans up after them

The Venna Lake is Mahableshwar's most visited location. In addition to lake boating, tourists enjoy a number of other activities around the lake, such as numerous food, entertainment and games stalls where they can have the best time possible. Horse riding is also besides the lake if one chooses to do it.

Do enjoy the ride. 600 rs charges for 1 hour. It's serene. Please note that to visit during sunset time. The view is simply awesome

It has a very long wait otherwise it is very good to visit in the mornings of winter. The water and climate are very cold. It is well preferred to reach there early. The cost is 600 per hour for a normal boat with the driver which is a 6-seater.

Only lake in mahabaleshwar with easy to spot and very good parking space available. In the lake there are many kinds of boating options available. It will take 30-60mins. In the parking space horse riding is available.

Venna lake, beautiful place to visit near to mahabaleshwar. Like: 1. Beautiful lake and lots of views 2. Rowing and Padale boat available 3.Mandir in the near the lake ( only can visit with rowing boat). 4. Horse riding available at 200 for all round. 5. Different items to eat available Dislike: 1.

It is a total of 1 km trail /steps around the valley. You can walk around see many points. When it was raining you are like on clouds. Very nice. It is windy. Carry rain coat (donot buy cheaper one 50 rs, they will fly away) . Also umbrellas may not work

Great place, great views. Need to walk 200 easy steps to reach to the point from car park. Car parking on road, difficult to find in peak hours. Can get small snack items like Maggi, nuts, sweet corn, ice candy etc in small stalls 10-12 stalls. Ample Place to sit and have packed lunch if you carrying, a group of 60-70 can get accommodated.

The best of all the points nearby. One can literally spend an hour sitting and getting lost in the beautiful view. The photo spots are also amazing and gives good depth in each pic if taken from the rocky steps. It’s probably one of the farthest point from parking and requires a long walk, but it is worth it.

A beautiful place and trail of 3kms. Covering Arthur's seat, malcolum point, echo point, tiger spring point. Place is usually very crowded on weekends. If possible, try to visit on weekdays to enjoy the beauty of this place. There are stalls for quick snacks as well. The best time to visit is just before sunrise. It will give you an amazing view

Unfortunately it was too foggy and it rained quite a lot when we visited here. But, the view is supposedly breath taking from here. Definitely a must vist. The road that leads to this place is another bonus as it is beautiful.

Very nice trail. You’d spend around 2 hrs here. It’s a long trail. Try and park sensibly. Drive carefully and please DO NOT litter, use dustbins or carry a bag for your trash. Early morning or late afternoon are best times to visit.

If you love nature then you must visit this place. You will find the stunning look of western ghats from here. Whole place is nice and clean. But people said the place is having totally different view during rainy season.

We visited during the month of August and it was foggy. We couldn’t see the expected view but felt awesome. Photos added. Best part is the steps are very well done and easy to climb. Enough small shops are there for tea and snacks throughout the walk

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 place should be in the must go list while in Mahabaleshwar, the views are just great and the sunset is also astonishing, bit far from the town and also had to track a bit and ok once reached the point, felt like it was a worth to try. A very good place to take photos and click selfies.. One of the best points to visit in Mahabaleshwar.

One of the best point to visit in mahabaleshwar. It was good 360 view of valley.

There are many sunset/sunrise points in Mahabaleshwar and this has to be one of the best.

A great place to go check out . But be prepared to walk , the walk is fun and long . The walk is not hard but do wear some comfy shoes . No washrooms at the location or nearby so please finish all personal jobs before going to the location . There is a icecream vendor on top . There is also another vender selling cucumber with some masla on it , do try it and also the iceream. Take your friends and family to have a great day ahead .

You must visit this place... 🙌 This place is just breathtaking... It's like heaven on earth 😍😍 Photographers can go crazy clicking pics here.... Everything feels great when you're in nature🌿🍃 Nature has power to heal you❤

lephant's Head Point is the most picturesque viewpoints of Mahabaleshwar ,the overhanging cliffs of this point is similar to the head of an elephant and its trunk.Not a sight to be missed and has its treats along the walking trail with plenty of monkeys. Beautiful place and would definitely recommended.

Lovely scenery and veiw of mountains.

I recently went to this point to enjoy the scenic beauty. What i want to highlight here is that there is a portion in this point which is not guarded by the wall & i don't understand why people are more fascinated to take picture while standing facing back to the hills. I think the authorities there should take action to guard the point totally like the way they had made walls to rest places.

Lovely scenery and veiw of mountains. Different types of flora and fauna. Must visit nature lovers. One km walking distance from parking area. Stalls of water and snacks available. Be away from monkeys. You will see different types of flowers on the way. Carry Umbrella with you.

If you are fortunate enough to find board of this point (Zoom the photo) which is hidden by unauthorized sellers and you come to know the point is a walking distance of 1km. Otherwise you will return from an outside point where the tourists rush for photos on horses and some good views. But that is not actual point. The board and way which goes to actual point is shrouded by unauthorized shops/hotels/sellers which misguides tourists and many tourists return from outside point which feels like actual viewpoint but its not. Tourism department should ban these sellers which are causing distraction or move them away from display board.

Good scenic view over the high mountain n rocks. The rock resembles the head n nose of an elephant. The way towards the viewpoint is bit muddy but when you reach view points its beauty on earth. You can enjoy the chats stall items, cotton candy and please beware of monkeys there. They will be there but can snatch your items if you are carrying a polybag.

Mahabaleshwar is a perfect getaway for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

I recently visited the Mahabaleshwar Temple and was thoroughly impressed. The temple itself is stunning and filled with intricate architectural details. The atmosphere was serene and peaceful, making for a very spiritual experience. I also appreciated the well-maintained grounds and the beautiful natural surroundings. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the temple. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in ancient architecture and spirituality. Additionally, the temple also provides a great view of the surrounding area, so it's worth visiting for the view alone. Overall, a must-visit for anyone in the area.

I visited the temple at morning 6am I would suggest the same time as there is literally no one except the temple authorities U can enjoy the fantastic sunrise behind the temple. The natural bliss, those harmonic sounds of the nature took me all over Will post a video of the same

Absolutely grand. Best time to visit is EARLY MORNING. great food options on the fort.. superb souvenir shops.. the last souvenir shop at the top gives best deals. Guide recommended as we wouldn't know what we are looking at and why.. it's best to carry a bag to get back our trash. TO KEEP OUR FORTS CLEAN IS ENTIRELY OUR RESPONSIBILITY..

Pratapgarh Fort offers a captivating blend of history and scenic beauty. The easy trek via stairs from the parking makes it accessible for all. Along the way, diverse stores offer souvenirs and refreshments, including delightful options like kokam juice and chaas. At the summit, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. The fort's rich heritage coupled with the convenience of amenities makes it a must-visit destination. Whether you're a history enthusiast or seeking natural beauty, Pratapgarh Fort promises a memorable experience for all. Highly recommended for an enriching outing.

Looking at the history of this place and the value this place shall be well maintained and eatables shouldn't be allowed at the main fort. Place is nice to visit once - you can go in a car till the fort steps or have a treck with your friends either way I would recommend to go in winters.If you visit in summers you should come back till 9-10 am.

When you visit please ensure taking a local guide available at the parking area. It’s a one hour tour and the charges are Rs. 600/- but the knowledge you gain is invaluable. Mere sightseeing is not enough but understanding the history of the place is equally important. Presently restoration work of the fort is underway and may continue for long time. It is not an inconvenience though. There are local restaurants on the fort which provide local cuisine. Ideal time is to reach in the morning, see the fort, have lunch and return. Not recommended in afternoons as the heat can take its toll. After 4 pm could also work. Try carrying cash as the network may not be there and payment could be a problem. Venturing the fort takes you up to about 500 steps in phases (not continuously) and as such elderly people may need to take care.

This fort is approximately 45 min journey from mahabaleshwar. Plan it in the morning time or after 4 pm for a pleasant weather. Make sure to book a guide from the base of the fort. The cost will be somewhere around Rs 300. The guide will make the whole trek interesting with many facts , historical dates , he will talk about the construction from a war point of view. And in no time you will reach at the top of the fort. There are some restaurants serving food and snacks in the fort. Make sure to try the churned buttermilk with extra froth. There is one artifact's museum/shop. Most of the things we do get at flea markets but yes as souvenirs there are many options here. There are many stalls selling tamarind, raw mango slices and berries . It reminded me of my school days . After school it was a ritual to buy it for Rs 1 to 5 and relish it on the way home. Do not carry snacks or tacky stuff in your hand as there are monkeys roaming around and they are good snatchers.

It's a heritage site with lots to see and learn (only if you hire a guide - 600 Rs). We had a wonderful guide, Ravi Raj, a middle aged man, who made the trip worthwhile. There are lots of shops selling food, water and all sorts of cooling drinks (lassi, kokum, etc.). The place should be maintained better, but then it's a private property and not government funded. There's no parking lot (or parking charges). At the peak time (mornings) if you try driving to the end of the road, you may not be able to get a parking and even get out easily. Suggest you park at the first spot near the road you see, once you've reached near the fort.

The fort is good, restoration work is in progress. The fort is encroached upon by locals. There are almost 500 stairs to the top. There was enough rush during the off season. Parking space is limited. Recommended to go early in the morning or in the evening. The drive to the Pratapgarh is scenic with a lot of ghat section drive. Need good driving skills if returning from the fort in the night.

It is a beautiful fort with mesmerizing views. You can climb the stairs to view Bronze statues at the top. There are some temples on the way. Also, have a visit to the handcrafted items. Stores outside have an good collection to purchase at a cheap price. Try not to carry any food items in hand because of the monkeys.

Beautiful example of hill Fort.Its old fort surrounded by forest area.No entry ticket for fort.Free parking facility is available.Many food stall, handicrafts shops and restaurants are there.From up top you can enjoy a nice view of the valley. In the fort there is old temple dedicated to bhawani.

•It has hand made bhakri food and old times food to eat by cultural peoples it's a legacy they continue loved it. •It's a very historical place of maharashtra. Very beautiful architecture of the fort made in that time. •Beautiful stones carved and good quality of work was done even in that time. •you can get a wide view of surrounding and open view. •relaxing place •having many shops that sell old things related to fort. ••••• •you can directly go without any waiting in offseason in fort. •not a very convenient place for parking •need to park in a small place but good in off season. Nice place to visit.

One can imagine the history in this place.thid fort is huge. 500 steps needs to be climbed to go top. On the way there is a temple, lot of eatery options are available. The people living inside the fort are the descendents of Shivaji Maharaj's army. Today also the fort tradition is followed where the main gate is opened at 8am and closed at 8pm. A view of Sahyadri can be taken.

Amazing experience. The walk is a bit steep so be well prepared for that. Rich cultural heritage do avail the guide service which you can book at the bottom of the fort which is serviced by toursim of Maharashtra.

Beautiful place to visit. If you like to trek for short distance then you can visit the water fall which is around 500mts from the base. very little water is flowing through the water fall but if you want to see the valley view than you should climb up the steps to reach this location. Worth going in rainy season. Also to the left is a very short waterfall with a pond. The water here is clean. you can visit this place its hardly 100mts from base. But over all good. Go through pics you will get an idea.

Beautiful place to visit in the area. It is approx 2kms from main road connecting Pachgani & Mahabaleshwar. This road is surrounded by dense trees. There is entry fee for entering the waterfall premises , but it's worth it. To reach waterfall take small walk from main gate. The place is well maintained & clean. Though water is less in non monsoon months but it's good place for capturing photos. Parking & washroom available at main gate.

Lovely place .. Ample parking space is available... We went early morning so there was not much crowd. We were only girls and it is safe. Entry fees is 25 Rs. Small steps available to reach to the point but it is a easy climb. You can spend an hour and enjoy.

Most beautiful point when visiting Mahabaleshwar. You can only enjoy this view in monsoon. Do remember there are two points one is waterfall and another one is a manmade dam like structure.

I had a fantastic visit to Lingmala Waterfall! The 20₹ ticket fee was well worth it. The journey started with a charming, dam-like waterfall, and as we crossed the bridge, a delightful 500-meter nature walk led us to the breathtaking main waterfall. The scenery was stunning, and I couldn't resist taking plenty of pictures along the way. Along the path, you will find stalls offering delicious snacks like Maggie, sweetcorn, and refreshing lemonade, ensuring you won't get exhausted during your visit. A highly recommended destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts!

Lingmala Waterfall is visited by thousands of tourists every year as it is one of the best places to visit in Mahabaleshwar. The waterfall is situated on the right-hand side of the road while travelling from Mahabaleshwar to Panchgani. There is a small signboard indicating the directions to the waterfall. One has to take the left turn on a narrow road from the signboard. Drive for around 10 minutes and reach the entrance of the falls. From the gate, one has to walk for 1.5 km to reach the smaller waterfall and 2.5 km to reach the main waterfall. There are a lot of stairs en route to the lower deck, so the trek can be a bit tiring, but the route and the views are totally worth it. It takes about 30 minutes from the entrance to reach the lower waterfall. The best time to visit is from July to October when the waterfall is at its peak flow. The waterfall can be dangerous in the rainy season, so it is not at all advisable to swim. Timings: 8 AM to 4.30 PM , Entry Fee: Rs. 15 for Person

The place is not at all maintenance,our history is being getting buried UNDER DARKENESS, no lights and lots of filth in ponds. No cleanliness.no pictures allowed for showing the world how our ancestors extra ordinary stoneage work without modern equipment avaliable during the time .. the local authorities n ASI must develop it as it's most visited place by tons of people

Also known as Mumbai Point. There's not much view of sunrise from this point due to the trees. There's also a lot of crowd generally here. There are eateries and also some games to olay with your family. Parking is also not much of a problem unless it's too crowded. The route leading to the point is good.

Little out of the way near Old Mahabaleshwar which has an entry of Rs.75/- per person from there another 2.5km away is this point. Ample parking and a good view of the sunset can be enjoyed here. There are lots to entertain yourself and the kids, such as games, shooting, hoops, horseriding etc. One can also enjoy the variety of street foods served here such as chaat, pani puri, pakodas etc. Best time to visit during Nov to Jan would be 6.30pm

It is no more the same sunset point which used to be in past. Its much more commercialised with no natural beauty anymore. There are trees which have grown in the valley obstructing the view of sun actually setting beyond the hills. Horses take a lot of space and people need to be aware all the time. There are eateries and game shops to make it worse The approach road is very narrow and you will end up in traffic after Sun set is over as everyone will leave at almost same time. You may skip this if you want and you will not miss anything substantial.

It is a very nice place. It is also called the Sunset point. The view of the sunset was memorable. If you are planning to go to Mahabaleshwar, do not forget to visit this place.

This is western most point in Mahabaleshwar, called Lodwick Point and Elephant head point which is a spectacular place but needs a walk in the forest of about a km, half of which is paved and thebother half is rough terrain. But the end of whole walk is very rewarding with views of valley on left & right side of the point. One can see the motorway winding up from the foot hills from western side of Mahabaleshwar all up to top. This point was discovered by Lodwick in the year 1824 ! A memorial is constructed at this spot.

It is also known as Mumbai point. It was an amazing experience to see the sunset. At weekday the crowd was there but not too much and also we can click a photo with the horse and also can ride the horse and there is so many stores where we can play games like shooting, ring throwing, etc.

It's really amazing but little crowded...still I love this place! We can see Pratapgarh from here...the view is breathtaking!!!😍 there are 2,3 restaurants where you can eat snacks and enjoy the scenery! I ate bhutta there was amazing!! I visited in this summer only temperature over there is 25°C🤩

The tourist point you should visit in the end of your day. Come here before an hour so that you can have horse ride as well as evening snacks. You can take your sit if you'll come early. Sufficient parking space for cars. Their is one more place before the sunset point it's forest walking road. Must go here. It's safe and clean to walk and experience the jungle.

I had a fantastic experience at Bombay Point, enjoying horse riding against the breathtaking backdrop of an awe-inspiring sunset. The serene atmosphere combined with the thrill of horse riding made it unforgettable. My only suggestion would be to bargain effectively with the horse rider for a more enjoyable experience overall.

Sunset point also known as Mumbai point is a tourist attraction. A well tarred round cut through the forest takes you there. You can ride on horses or sit at leisure sipping sample masala tea with pakodas. Weekends are crowded and not so much fun. Visit on a weekday to enjoy to the fullest.

This is a beautiful place to view the sunset in mahabaleshwar and very crowded. The view of the sunset is really beautiful from here. It has space to sit also and enjoy the sunset. Also there are little shops selling snacks, tea and coffee and games and horses to ride for kids. The place can be improved to make it more accessible for elderly people. There is parking outside for cars and you can even sit in the car and enjoy the sunset.

one of the best evening points and must visit Plenty of horse riding option. but slightly crowded so better get there early to carch a place and enjoy snacks while watchin beautiful sunset.

Pretty sunset point. Make sure to reach this place at least one hour before the sunset if you need a better place to sit and away from the mob since it gets crowded as the sun starts to set. Also getting parking near the point gets difficult as the crowd increases.

Crowded as there is little space, you have to reach early to occupy the place to view. The sunset is really beautiful. A place to visit for lifetime memory. There are eateries and gift shops also. You can also enjoy games and horse riding there. The place is beautiful but overcrowding is a problem and vehicles jam makes more trouble, so better is go early and come late.

It's a nice place to visit and that's why it is really crowded at the time of sunset. But the view is simply amazing! The steps-like seating arrangement makes it easy for everyone to watch the sunset and click photographs. You can also enjoy horse riding if you reach the place a little early than the sunset.

The sunset point is very nice....but visit on weekdays.....on weekends too much rush here

Nice place to see sunset. Also call sunset or Mumbai point. Always crowded and full of horses and they are annoying.

Tourist places like this sunset point need to kept more attractive by maintaining cleanup routines. They have a lot of attractions for kids and adults along with little snack shops. They also need to carry big enough trash cans or something to circulate trash. People gather to witness the sunset with loved ones and it should be kept attractive.

This is quite a good spot to enjoy sunset. You can enjoy horse riding here (I won't recommend being an animal concerned person). If you love being at a little crowded place and enjoy the sunset. This is a place for you. But if you love to enjoy sunset at silence this might not be the ideal spot for it. For that you need to stop your car at a random place where you get the perfect view away from the crowd. Cheers!!

Located at a walking distance from Shri Mahabaleswar temple.The architecture is awesome! Takes you back to an old era! The valley view from this temple is amazing and its beauty can't be captured in a camera! You have to experience it yourself. Out of all 3 temples, we enjoyed the visit to this temple the most.

Peaceful Haven with Divine Vibes: Krishnabai Mandir, Mahabaleshwar Honestly, maybe I am out of word to describe the mandir but I have tried my best to. Krishnabai Mandir in Mahabaleshwar is a hidden gem that deserves recognition. Situated just 15 minutes away from the main market, this temple offers a serene and peaceful escape amidst lush greenery. The architecture of the temple is truly awesome, showing intricate details and design. Upon entering the main mandir, a sense of peace washes over you, creating a calming sensation. The mandir itself emits positive vibes, providing a cooling effect as you approach it. The breathtaking view from the temple overlooks the starting point of the Krishna River, adding to the overall beauty of the place. I highly recommend visiting Krishnabai Mandir to experience moments of peace and embrace the serenity it offers away from the chaotic world.

A secret treasure is Krishnabai Temple!!! The Krishna Temple is a Shiva temple constructed in the Hemadpanti architectural style. The temple's name comes from the fact that it is thought to be the Krishna River's source. The Krishna Temple has a mesmerizing atmosphere due to its precisely planned design, valley vista, and pillar carvings. The temple is open all year round, but September through February—the post-monsoon season—is the ideal time to visit because the entire area turns verdant and aesthetically pleasing. Must visit place in Mahabaleshwar!

Just few mts walk n you will reach this Place. The temple is ancient n very beautiful piece of architecture. Best place giving most beautiful view of the valley n dam below. Must visit place .

The water at the mandir is sweet. I tasted it myself. Not many people come here. But it’s worth coming here for the view and the mandir. Beautiful shiv ling and Ganpati inside the mandir. The guide there sang Mahamritunjaya jaap for us inside the mandir. You can feel the vibrations of the chant due to the acoustic structure above. Great place to sit and meditate. Can be kept more clean. Pathway to the mandir had bottles and plastic packets thrown around.

Just purely beautiful, the temple is such simple and kept the way it is which I liked the most. It’s amazing to see fresh water flowing from Nandi Ji’s mouth into the kund. The view from the temple is something which can never be forgotten. I wish I could have spent much more time there. Photography inside the temple is not allowed

The temple is very old and here is the origin of Krishna river. Not only the view from temple premises is spectacular but even the temple looks ancient and well preserved. You can easily see the river origin and the pond.

This is a one of the older temples of Maharashtra and it is the source of River Krishna. Photography inside the temple is not allowed as it is a heritage sites. Outside the temple one can clearly see river Krishna and can cherish wonderful scenic beauty.

A very old temple and with traditional built and scenic environment around it, the women/caretaker here told us this was source of krushna river. Foggy during monsoon! Felt like a artistic movie scene !

Amazing place to visit during after monsoons end. Although you won't be able to see sunrise during monsoon season but you will be able to touch the clouds 😝. This is what heaven might look like. A must visit place and enjoy the lush green fields and mountains view.

I have visited this place in evening time so didn’t find it so amazing. But my advice to visit in morning time. You surely get the good views because later I came to know it is Sunrise Point.

Simple place with good view of valley and jungle. 5:30 am is best to visit in may month. Not so cold or hot. Single vehicle route at the top. There are 2 view points at the top. Road is being constructed for two lane, one at each side. Good for morning walk.Safe too.

A MUST VISIT!!!! If you happen to be in Mahabaleshwar, then you must visit this place to enjoy a beautiful sunrise and hot cup of tea available on site. Make sure you reach on time, as you wont get a spot for yourself. Ideal time to reach here is 6:50 am, as sun rises around 7:10 am in Mahabaleshwar. DO NOT SPEED while returning, as you may encounter really steep decline right after straight roads end. Take an expert driver with you to tackle such curves.

One of the calmest place to view sunrise. Anyways all sunrise are beautiful always and it is no exception. Though there's no specific location or structure but sunrise from hilly area is always beautiful.

Wilson point in mahabaleshwar is also known as sunrise 🌞 point. The road to this point are narrow but still enjoyable environment while riding bike. The best time to visit this place is 7-10 when sun rises in East. Thais place is beautiful even in cloudy and foggy environment. Two block are constructed to enjoy the sunrise you can choose anyone both are 200 meter away from each.

A splendid day, morning jog, cool climate great place to explore after lunch. Precautions to be take wild animals in open. You will find mini- waterfall. Street full of fog. Lovely climate.

Wilson point is a visual treat for both sunset and sunrise. If you are a professional photographer than this place is a must come for you. The lush greenery and long distance landscape for taking pictures is what makes this point photographers paradise. Make sure you come before 5pm otherwise tourist cars flock this place and you wont be able to get parking. Though if you have driver than you can ask him to park car away and recall after visiting this point. Overall a very chilling place in evening to end you day with calm and peace and the wind blows out of proportion during monsoon, so be careful with kids.

Perfect place for a sunsrise. There are two big circular place constructed on top of the mountain to have a perfect view of the sunrise. The place is Serene and lush green. It gets bit difficult to reach this place as Google maps shows a path which goeas through a private property which ends going further. So better to follow sign boards available on the road. If you want to spot a perfect location to view sunrise better reach the place by 6:15. If you reach late, the place will get crowded and will get difficult to find a spot to view sunrise.

Amazing place with lush green scenary spread as far as one can see. Awesome place to visit during monsoons and after monsoons till Jan. Although you won't be able to see sunrise in monsoon bit it is definitely worth a visit. This is what heaven might look like. Try it out.

This is one of the most famous sunrise point at Mahabaleshwar die to it flat land at the top of the mountain. You get a nice high rise point which gives you great view of the entire landscape. Try going there in Winters to have fog complimenting the sunrise.. otherwise it open all the time. A small treacherous road to reach this point and then a flat land.

Beautiful sunrise view point. The valley and the wind add to the effect. Sublime views of the rising Sun and the opportunity to take picturesque scenes, makes this a must visit point when in Mahabaleshwar. Cars can go there but is not easy given the spinning wheel experience with the muddy surface with the tar road approach. You may have to ask co-passengers to alight and then take it up a certain slope. Apparently there are two approqches but we had taken the one close from Keys Point Resort and Le Meridien.

Elphinstone Point in Mahabaleshwar is a stunning spot. The view of the hills from here is amazing. Nearby, you'll find other beautiful viewpoints like Arthur's Seat and Savitri Point. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves breathtaking landscapes.

Normal point with valley views on both sides. Usually crowded. Has little steep steps. One or two food sheds. You can spot monkeys here. They might snatch things from your hand so be careful. There is one part at this point that has broken boundaries which is very dangerous for families travelling with kids or people crazy for selfies. The government should look into it.

Panoramic View of the natural valleys and mountains. Mesmerising truly breathtaking views of the depth and heights. A must visit for all the natural and photographic enthusiasts. I didn't carry my camera buddy with me which I repent.Must visit for all Excellent photography in the woods, picturesque location.

It's a testament to the power and beauty of nature itself, and a reminder of how incredible our planet can be. In conclusion, Elphinstone Point in Mahabaleshwar is a treasure trove of natural beauty, offering a cool and refreshing atmosphere. Its unique hill shape, reminiscent of an elephant's head, adds an element of wonder, and the fact that it was created naturally only enhances its allure. A visit to Elphinstone Point is not just a trip, but a journey into the heart of nature's marvels.

If you wanna get best views in Mahableshwar then do visit this place. This is the place with lots of cool airflow and some best spots to clicking picture and selfies with your loved ones. From this Elphinstone Point you can see the huge mountain ranges of Sahyadri Mountain ( Western Ghats ). On weekends the place is full of crowd so be awar of it . For parking your vehicles this place have huge parking but it is full at weekend and holiday so take concern about this.

Very well maintained. There is parking space and many small vendors selling snacks and drinks. visited in November and the weather was very good. Place is well maintained by the local bodies. There are proper steps and fencing. Safe to bring family with kids.

must visit place. One of the most underrated yet most beautiful spot in Mahabaleshwar. very scenic and a brilliant spot for photography. There is a little bit of a walk and big steps to be taken to reach three exact point - something which may be difficult for the elderly any one who has issues with walking or step climbing! However worth the walk as you can look at the whole valley from a brilliant point and the view is spectacular!

Be aware of monkeys. Do not take anything that would peak the monkeys interest. Like food in bags or water bottles. Good place for views.

This is one point where the end point is a corner. Its triangular in shape. You can see Koyana valley from left side and Savitri valley on right side. When you reach the last part, to see pratapgad right at the opposite side of the valley. It is very close to Arthurs point which is on one side of the road. You can skip that bit thats not required as it is just on the way and you rather watch it. There are few road side eateries here where you can get cucumber, raw mango, buttermilk, etc. There are few steps here that you need to go down so don't go if there is an issue with walking etc and it is not wheelchair friendly. There is enough parking here as not many people come here at same time of the day.

Easy accisable and most missed yet most scenic place. One can witness nearly a 320° surrounded view!! Aesthetic. Just mesmerising. Parking is available just prior to the point. Few snack and tea shops are also available. As usual a little high priced, anything starting like from Rs. 20 for a cup of tea.

This point is very scenic and beautiful but only thing i don’t like on this point thats “Safety” Safety wall is broken which you can see it in pictures Totally unsafe please be cautious with children and yourself too.

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 rains. You have to trek down around 100 steps from the parking lot to experience one of the most stunning moments. I visited in the month of September so it was getting covered and uncovered from the cloud. And when climbing back to parking lot I realised how healthy my lungs are. 🥲 This point is also known as Needle’s Point, lies at the extreme end of the mountain range beyond Lodwick Point. Resembling to the elephant’s head, this extended ridge is the most popular tourist spot in Mahabaleshwar that offers the stunning views of the Sahyadri mountain range. Set amidst nature’s extremity, the place gets completely covered with greenery during monsoon, which attracts the nature lovers to visit and appreciate the serene. Here are some of the pics from my visit. Here are some stalls available for snacks like Maggie and sweet corn. There are lots of monkeys, they will not harm you but you need to be careful.

You have to drive a long from Mahabaleshwar town to reach this place, but after spending all those efforts you won't get disappointed. The cool breeze and freshness of the air will make your mind fresh. The views from this place is lovely. In monsoons the views become awesome. There is a large parking space available to park your car and parking is free 😀.

Well maintained amusement park, So many activities are there and anyone can enjoy Group and individual both can enjoy as it has a variety of activities and things to do. Go karting was fun and they have maintained it well. You can enjoy the good good at restaurant. ATM is there in case you need cash and ample parking area with no charge for the same

An interesting place with minimum playing options such as go-karting, dashing cars, zip way, and other kids playing activities. Not so crowded place, hence we didn't have to wait in line for any activities. We did only go-karting and dashing cars in which we had more fun.

Visited this place for go carting. Only dashing car and go carting was open, all other sports were close inspite of peak vacation season. They charged ₹450 for single go cart which is of 4 rounds. Double costs ₹750. Each additional round is for ₹150. Food options like cotton candy, gola and others available. They also have a bar and restaurant.

Had a wonderful paiint ball expwrience in mahabaleshwar. All equipment were upto mark and its outdoor area . You can form two diiferent team and play. Team with most hit wins. Do not shoot ua opponent from nearby as it may hurt a lot. And follow rules if you wana have fair game.

Velocity is a popular area that offers a variety of activities for both children and adults (if you are not afraid of rides). There is a place to rest and have Bun Maska with chai or green tea while your children run off for rides or go karting. The view from the Ferris wheel was simply stunning. Other rides included a merry-go-round, bungee leaping, a zip line, a car crash, and go-karting. The weather was ideal for visiting Mahabaleshwar. Candy floss was incredibly fresh and provided us lots of energy ;). If you're in the area, check out this place of interest. There is plenty of parking, an ATM, and the restrooms were clean.

Velocity was one of the most recommended amusement parks which ensured our footfalls into their arena. We had high hopes but soon it was proven that it was just not worth it. Go karting (allowed for 14+ years) was for 450 rs for 4 laps. Karts were ok, but the roads were like Mumbai's monsoon roads. Zip lining which was for 600 rs, was not even worth 100 rs. You better spend that amount for a spa session. Other activities like giant wheel, trampoline and dashing car were also not worth it. Overall, it is avoidable. I thk there are other good gokarting in mahabaleshwar which needs to be tried. Ample parking available though.

Its Ok OK KIND OF theme park the vehicle here are not maintained and they stop inbetween your ride which doesn’t allow tou to have fun if you are specifically racing with your friends. The cost is reasonable at 200 per person for 5 laps however due to the vehicle quality we are not able to get the maximum from it. Their are manu other go cart racing center in mahabaleshwar betteer and bigger then these whixh you can check instead of this one.

We tried the go-karting and dashing car experience here and were quite pleased. The go karts could be taken either in a double configuration or a single configuration. It works out slightly cheaper in a double configuration. For 750 rupees for a double configuration Go kart and 400 for a single configuration Go Kart You get four laps around the track. The track itself is well maintained and has a U shape. Dashing car experience was also nice. There are other entertainment rides as well, however we did not try them all. There is parking however it's open. Overall a good experience.

Nice place to experience some adventure fun with Mahabaleshwar valley view. You can enjoy go-kart, dashing car, zip-line, etc. Place is well maintained, marshals take full care of your safety during the rides and are pretty serious about it. They won't let you board unless you follow the instructions as per them. You have few options for quick bites. Ample parking and easily accessible from the main road. Expect long waiting on weekends. This review as on Dec 31,2023.

Cool adventurous place to check out while going / coming to Mahabaleshwar. Go karting, zip line, car dashing are good to try.

Very fantastic place. All games are very interesting and funny. Fully enjoyable. This place is on wai mahabaleshwar road near bhose . Racing car and dashing car are very nice also management gives extra time for kids and new features is fish treatment

1) Go kart was fun. Tracks were broken, could have been better. Overpriced: 400 for one and 750/- for duet ride 2) The dashing car and giant wheel were amazing. 5/5 for that 3) The fish spa was great, just the water was unhygienic.

They offers variety of adventure games. The tickets are on high side but one can enjoy it due to its location and weather out there. It has good parking place and restaurant location inside is beautiful beside valley. Kids can enjoy alot here and one should have ample time and money to make most of it here

A fun place to enjoy the rides, a tad bit pricey but okay given that it's situated in such a wing location

This was once a happening place, however now the go karting track is under maintenance with no updates and the rest of rides are in very poor state. However the company should completely stop this as the other rides can be hazardous. Request do not take any rides.

Nothing specific to see here it's just a bend on the ghats. People stop at each bend in the ghats and hence there is heavy traffic arround here

Marjorie was one of the daughter of British governor and hence this point is named after her. There are lush green mountains and a valley which is seen from here. There are lot of monkeys around and hence please avoid having anything on your hand when you visit this point. It is on the turning point on the way to Arthur's seat point and you can tale 2 min break to stand here and watch this point.

A popular tourist attraction in Mahabaleshwar. This is amongst many tourists point of attraction in this area. A scenic place to view and admire the beauty of Savitri valley and Sahyadri mountain ranges.

One would witness the beauty of nature.

Situated along the way to Arthur's Seat, Marjorie Point is about 500 meters below the Konkan Valley with drop-offs from this point arising from the valley itself. Offering enchanting panoramic views of the Sahyadri Range, Marjorie Point is named after a prominent British administrator who found this location and served in these parts before independence. Although cars and taxis are available and can be rented by visitors to quickly get to this point from town, horse rides are also available for the tourists seeking some adventure

Next to 3 monkey point. I recently visited Marjorie Point in Mahabaleshwar and was blown away by the breathtaking views. The point offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, mountains, and the Krishna River, which make it a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The lush greenery and cool breeze add to the charm of the place. The point is easily accessible by car and there is ample parking space available. The area is well-maintained and clean, with benches and seating areas for visitors to relax and enjoy the scenery. The sunset views from the point are especially spectacular. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Marjorie Point if you're in Mahabaleshwar. It's a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature.

Breathtaking view point that impossible to miss because it's located on the way to Arthur Seat Point. Parking available, small local shop with water & fruits available. Place is clean and well maintained. The best time to visit around 4 pm. This point could ve reached by car, taxi or local non ac bus.

Nice view point just besides the 3 monkey points. I didn't get the reason behind its name "Marjorie". But anyways, good to visit. Parking space is available and you will get some stalls of water, lemon juice, etc. Just some photo clicks and I didn't find anything extraordinary here. You can spend some time upto half n hour. You will find it boring after that much amount of time has been spent.

Best view in Mahabaleshwar!!! You can see 7 mountain ranges one over the other. (* only in summer, last ones are blurry) (binoculars, camera with optical zoom, or good eyesight 😂🤣😂🤣 any one is essential)

Nature and Good view.

Place is less crowded, good place for photoshoot but should avoid going alone or in a couple or with small family. Nothing much to see from top as there are limited view visible due to trees available around. There is concrete structure to see view but it's not opened for public may be due to safety issue.

Connaught peak is one of the best tourist place in Mahabaleshwar located an altitude of 1400m which is second highest peak in Mahablaeshwar. This peak was initially called as Mount Olympia which was renamed as Connaught Peak in the year 1880, after the Duke of Connaught visited this spot who was cousin of British king fifth George. This Place is quite popular among trekkers and riders and also famous as Kamal gad, Raj gad, Torna are visible in the North direction where as Panchagani, Pasarani are visible n the East direction. Pratap gad and old Mahabaleshwar are also visible from this point.

Beautiful location. Little climb required from parking. But really worth to visit. Max 30mins to 1 hour is sufficient.

A short hike from the road, slightly steep and had me running out of breath, but such a fantastic view and such beauty is just breathtakingly fascinating! Drive from the main road is very slow as the tar road is quite old and pothole ridden.

A very nice place to view both sunrise and sunset. One can enjoy the view of mountains and nature and the feel of the place is just awesome.

There nothing to watch... It's just an adventures location... Very good for boys and boys group... Strictly no for family as there is nothing to see and location is very isolated.....!

This peak is on the Connaught peak road while travelling to old mahabaleshwar from Bombay point. The road to the peak is unpaved so drive slowly, parking space is at the start of the trail to peak, it can accommodate around 8 to 10 cars. This place is less explored by tourists but it is worth a visit especially if travelling with kids. Though the watch tower is closed and not in good condition, you will not be disappointed by the view it offers from the peak. Do visit the left side of the peak which has a pathway through the bushes, you can sit down here and absorb the fresh air and beauty of the forest. Carry water and some snack items but do not litter the place. Overall a must visit peak if you like to explore more, you can spend 30 min to an hour here. Don't forget to take a selfie, photos AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR TRASH WITH YOU, KEEP THE PLACE CLEAN SO NEXT GENERATION CAN ENJOY IT.

Great view but it’s a 200m climb from the parking. The viewing tower is closed but you can see the valley miles around

The road to get at the location is easy , I used Google maps and reached there easily . Carry some water with you . The roads are bad at different locations . Too many blind spots on the road . Once at the location the trail walk is easy it's not hard . The stairs to the mountains are just amazing , great place for a photoshoot . If you got a good phone you can take some good pictures . Once on top you will reach the first spot which is the concrete structure , it's been blocked so please dont try to enter you will get injured . Walk to your right and you will find a big rock over there . That's the last point please do t try to go ahead . Once your on the rock please be careful because if of you slip it's going to be very dangerous so ease be alert if you see someone on the rock it can be your firends or family members . Have fun be safe .

You can avoid the place in monsoon season but if you're looking for a small tracking then it's the best place for you. The road through peak is a bit slippery (in monsoon) but you can reach with caution. In cloudy weather you will not have any views from the peak.

Off beat place that you should visit. After parking at base it’s a walk of 10 mins to reach on top. It is second highest peak of Mahabaleshwar. You can visit here for some of the great view.

Beautiful drive way to the peak point. Last 500m drive to parking area for peak point is a bit off-road. From parking to top, you'll have to climb around 50-70 stairs. Once on top, you'll love the view of Mahabaleshwar. Recommended.

It is indeed a big amusement park with lots of games and rides. We visited on a sunday morning at around 11am but the park was totally empty. The staff told us that people will come in the evening after 4pm. We just tried two rides, Go Karting and Dashing Cars. Single seat car costs you 350 for a 4 lap race. The track is little bigger compared to the other one we tried at Mahabaleshwar. The two seater car had very tight steering and difficult to drive. Dashing cars were OK since only two of our kids played and there were no other people. Didn't try any other rides.

Mat ana scam hai bhai please dont come hear all ride are not unlimited. Road barrier write big bored on unlimited all activities but hear are 6-7 ride are unlimited and all ride are payable to take ride this is big scam are this park. And this park staff is so very nonsense because our family are big and they child are older then 3-4 yers and we have paid to ride for car and this older child lag are no touch on liver so i say a set them right sheets and thay told you got 2 tickets for this . So please dot come hear ane you are also go in valocity park they best but no come hear please 🙏

Games are good. Environment is good. Really enjoyed go-carting and dash-car. Others are good too. Horror House and Archary are quite dull!

Newly painted..very fresh rides and all.. 2 -3 hours enjoyment for kids ..not more varieties in rides for adult..but all n all good park to games rides with kids..

Amazing place to visit. Honestly the staff and Management have always been keeping this place the best and up to expectations. I can assure you that at a Hill Station you won't get such a place where you get unlimited rides / amusement parks at such a decent price. About the feedback I've read below, most of us don't respect them which is realistic. Try to understand and express your affection, they would go above and beyond just for you 🙂 Overall this place has maintained many smiles so cheers 🥂

Excellent Place to enjoy with Family (Adult and Kids). You can spend all day here with lots of Rides and Activities and much more. I Enjoyed a lot here. You must visit here and go with Kids or Adult package for unlimited Rides and Activities. Staff is very good, service is very good. Cold Drink, Water,etc available. Free Parking is available inside. Washroom, Toilet Facility available for Gents and Ladies. Enjoy every ride here with my family. Go for it once you came to Mahabaleshwar or Panchgani.

Entry fee - Rs. 500 per adult or can pay Rs 100 for each ride. Great place for children as most rides are smaller version of large rides in bigger amusement park. 2-3 rides can be enjoyed by adults also. Spend Rs 500 only if you are gonna stay for while day which is difficult as number of rides are less and there generally no waiting. One can enter the park without paying anything at gate and check-out rides before buying tickets. Washrooms and cafe is available inside park. Parking is to be done on road.

Wonderful experience! For a package fee you can revisit the favorite rides and many times as you'd like! Very well maintained equipment and pleasant ride operators. This is a must visit, especially with kids in tow!

We had unexpectedly amazing experience. Fun rides. Kids had great time. It was clean and maintained. Tried all rides.

Very good experience,lots of games variations Available in this park…..
