The highest and widest viewpoint in Matheran, with a 360-degree sweep over the Sahyadri ranges — best at sunrise before the haze builds.

The town's main water source and a peaceful forest-lake walk, especially full and scenic just after monsoon.
Louisa Point
A cliff-edge sunset viewpoint facing the neighbouring Peb Fort and the plains below — one of the most-visited of Matheran's 30-odd named points.
One Tree Hill Point
A quieter viewpoint reached by a pleasant forest walk, less crowded than Louisa or Panorama Point but with comparable views.
Horse Riding & Hand-Pulled Rickshaw
