Itinerary
Day 1 :
Arrival in Mahabaleshwar – Valley Views & Local Sights
Mahabaleshwar
Arrive in Mahabaleshwar by morning or early afternoon and check in to your hotel. After freshening up, begin your exploration with a visit to Wilson Point, the highest point in Mahabaleshwar offering stunning views of sunrise.

Wilson Point:
Wilson Point, also known as Sunrise Point, is the highest viewpoint in Mahabaleshwar, standing at an altitude of 1,439 meters. It offers a spectacular 360-degree view of the surrounding hills, valleys, and plateaus. This is the only point in Mahabaleshwar where both sunrise and sunset can be seen, making it a favorite for early risers and nature photographers. The wide open plateau with multiple viewing platforms provides a peaceful atmosphere to soak in the fresh mountain air and scenic beauty.
Elephant’s Head Point:
Elephant’s Head Point is one of the most picturesque spots in Mahabaleshwar, named after the unique rock formation that resembles the head and trunk of an elephant. Set against a backdrop of deep valleys and lush greenery, it offers breathtaking views of the Sahyadri mountain ranges. The tranquil environment and dramatic cliffside scenery make it a popular place for photography and quiet reflection. It's especially enchanting during the monsoon when the valleys below are covered in mist and cascading waterfalls.
Day 2 :
Waterfalls, Viewpoints & Strawberry Farms
Mahabaleshwar
Early in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, set out to explore the region’s lush beauty. Start your day with a visit to the picturesque Lingmala Waterfall, best enjoyed during and just after the monsoon. Next, head to the famous Arthur’s Seat, known as the ‘Queen of the Points’, which offers an incredible layered view of the valleys and the Savitri River. In the afternoon, visit one of the local strawberry farms to see fruit cultivation (and try fresh strawberry cream if in season).

Lingmala Waterfall:
Lingmala Waterfall is one of the most stunning natural attractions in Mahabaleshwar, especially during the monsoon season. The waterfall cascades from a height of around 600 feet into a lush green valley, creating a breathtaking sight and a cool, misty atmosphere. There are two levels – the main waterfall and a smaller one that is safer for closer viewing and photography. Surrounded by dense forest and walking trails, it’s a perfect spot for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature.
Arthur’s Seat:
Arthur’s Seat is often referred to as the "Queen of the Points" in Mahabaleshwar due to its incredible panoramic views. Perched at an elevation of around 1,470 meters, it overlooks the deep valleys of the Savitri River on one side and lush green forests on the other. The viewpoint is famous for its unique geological setting where you can see a clear difference in terrain – barren on one side and forested on the other. The echo phenomenon and the floating rock demonstration at the site also add a touch of curiosity and fun for visitors.
