Hike your way about 5 minutes west of Mahabaleshwar, and you’re in for a treat in the form of the Lodwick point. It is a combination of two beautiful vantage points Lodwick and Elephants head point.

It was named so to honour the first British officer who climbed the hill. Earlier known as Sydney point, this place still treasures its colonial remnants.

Standing tall in proof of that fact is the 25 ft. memorial pole with the marble sculpted tag of the British General.

This point lies at an elevation of 4087 feet above sea level, offering the mesmerising view of the station along with the Pratapgarh fort.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 1.9 km

Timing – 06:00 am – 08:00 pm

Entry Fee – No Entry Fee

2. Boating at Venna Lake

Explore the man-made the beauty of Lake Venna through a paddle or rowing boat. While this experience is not available during the monsoon season due to safety reasons, the lake is always a sight to behold.

Even then, charting your plans accordingly will make the trip much worthwhile.

It’s among the most visited places in Mahabaleshwar, and so be prepared to find quite a number of nature lovers here.

The scenic lake is a complete package with several other fun activities and some really delicious street food stalls.

Perfect for a sunset picnic, get yourself a picnic mat and relax here watching the lake tranquillize everything around it.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 2.8 km

Timing – 08:00 am – 08:00 pm

Entry Fee – No Entry Fee (Boating charges Rs. 250 for 30 Mins – Rs. 500 for 1 hour, Rs. 440 for 1 hour for Peddle Boat)

3. Seek blessings at the Kshetra Mahabaleshwar

The infamous three spiritual abodes are located around the old valley of Mahabaleshwar.

Locally known as the Kshetra Mahableshwar, it is home to the Panchganga temple, Mahabaleshwar temple and Krishna temple. All three beautifully constructed in their own unique manner.

The Krishna temple is one of the oldest temples built around the 13th century. Savour the architectural experience along with offering your prayers.

Mahabaleshwar temple was built in the ancient Hemadpanti style to make a comfortable home to Lord Shiva’s bed, Dhamru and Trishul.

Panchganga temple is believed to be the origin point of the 5 holy rivers – Krishna, Venna, Koyana, Savitri and Gayatri. If you’re in luck, you’d get to see these mystical rivers converging here.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 5.7 km

Timing – 5:00 am – 12:00 pm / 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm

4. Capture the rainbows at Lingmala Falls

If a place could look like a de-stress pill, it’d be the Lingmala falls. Cascading from above 500 ft., the waterfalls provide an overlooking view of the Dhobi and Chinamans waterfall.

It’s an ideal picnic spot as it is located just beside the forest Bungalow of Lingmala. While you’re lounging over here, don’t miss out on the rainbow effect the falls create. The first few sun rays falling through the misty silver thread of the falls creates mini rainbows that look very much straight out of a fairytale.

You can also trek around here and watch the water peacefully flowing into the valley of Venna.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 7.3 km

Timing – 08:00 am – 05:30 pm

Entry Fee – Rs. 20 per person. (Extra charges for still camera)

5. Experimental trek to Arthur’s Seat

This is one of the must-visit places around Mahabaleshwar. Known as the Queen of points, Arthur’s seat has 6 points that carry its own personal charm.

At an altitude of 1340 metres above sea level, the vantage point is encircled by the spectacular views of Savithri gorges and Bramhaaranya forest.

It portrays the geological contrast between the Deccan and Konkan platforms like a masterpiece painting.

What makes this trek even more interesting and fun is the experimental ideas that evolved here. Try throwing a light weighted object, such as a bottle cap, from a stop and it’d float back to you due to the air pressure at the highest point.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 7.6 km

Timing – 09:00 am – 08:00 pm

6. Trek to the Elephant’s Head Point

Elephant’s Head Point is one of its kind natural vantage points. The tall standing boulders covered in mossy greens is definitely a highlight, but there’s more to it.

Shaped unusually in the form of a head of an elephant, the point is often compared to the fictional structures in the movie Bahubali. And so comes along the royal feeling from the viewing point.

It’s enveloped in the foliage of greens that leads to the aerial view of the hill station. The overhanging cliffs also act as an echo point, so be ready to scream your heart out and have it echoed back to you.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 10 km

Timing – 09:00 am – 06:00 pm

7. Taste explosion at Mapro Garden

Short for Mahabaleshwar Products, this is a place that exclusively brings the freshly plucked products to the markets.

Covered in vivid colours, the garden is a gem of all kinds in Mahabaleshwar. From exotic to native flora, ornamental water fountains, lily ponds, it’s a place that’d make you want to stay longer for its subtle beauty.

With the increasing number of tourists, the garden also created a welcoming space for them. Offering a healthy twist to fast food, to a narrative and dramatised show arranged every now and then, there’s everything that’d keep your eyes glued to the gardens.

There’s also a surprise element for those with a sweet tooth. Mapro is home to a really fascinating chocolate factory, from where you can witness the crafting of some heavenly chocolate and take some back home as well.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 13 km

8. Go filmy at the Table Land

Located at close proximity from Mahabaleshwar, is this strip of land from the Deccan Plateau.

Tableland is a very common shooting spot for many mainstream Bollywood movies, and there’s a good chance of you having seen this scenic beauty through screens already.

While you’re around Mahabaleshwar, jump on to your chance to pull off your best filmy tricks here.

Crowned as Asia’s Second Highest Mountain Plateau, Table Land is a place you can go around exploring the old-school way. The flattened hills are a perfect venue for horse riding, so you’re in for some really fun activities out there.

The motorable road uphill is surrounded by hills and flat laterite rocks that’d pave way for an aerial view of Panchgani. From here you’d also get some kick-ass photos and videos that’d go on the gram.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 20 km

Timing – 06:00 am – 06:00 pm

Entry Fee – No Entry Fee ( Rs. 800 –  2500 for horse riding)

9. War Tales of Pratapgad

If there’s a place in Mahabaleshwar that cocoons the entire valley’s glory, it’d be the Pratapgarh fort.

Whether or not you’re a history buff, the fort is sure to capture your fancy with its grandeur. Located at an elevation of 3454 ft., it’s an easy trek up to the fort surrounded by sheer cliffs.

To reach the peak point, you’ll have to climb 450 steps and carry lots and lots of water.

The best time to explore the fort would be from September to March. During these months, you’d be welcomed by the freshwater lake of the fort, Rahat lake. Around here you could also pitch your tent and camp for a day or so.

Racing to the top, there’d be stone structures built strategically around a gigantic watchtower and the great Shivaji Maharaj’s statue proudly holding the reins of his horse.

The fort is said to have played a very pivotal role in the Battle of Pratapgad. There onwards it has remained an important fragment of the Maharashtrian culture.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 21 km

Timing – 10:00 am – 06:00 pm

10. A historical walk through Rajapuri Caves

The Pandavas are believed to have stayed here during their exile, making it an important pilgrimage spot.

A group of four caves surrounded by sacred water (Kund). There’s always a few pilgrims who’d be washing off their sins in the Kund and the sight in itself makes for a great story.

Added along with these are the stone inscriptions and the Karthikeya temple. Believed to be built purely out of the sand taken from the caves, this temple is a marvellous architectural as well as religious structure.

Distance from Mahabaleshwar – 25 km

  • The weather can get a little unpredictable at times, so carry along proper clothing and an umbrella/raincoat with you.
  • If you’re planning on trekking around Mahabaleshwar, carry shoes with a comfortable grip. Even though the climb is easy, it’d always come in handy.
  • Monsoon season is peak season and hotels are usually expensive during this point. In case you plan on travelling to Mahabaleshwar during the monsoon period, advance booking would reduce the hassle and inconvenience.
  • Exploring at night is not suggested as the hill station is less populated. It’s quite a safe area, but unless you go in groups, travelling at night wouldn’t be an ideal option.

Managed to pass science just because Walter White made chemistry sound interesting. Took a while to realise writing was what actually interested me, hence the Journalism degree. Quite the contrasting brain with Gulzar on mind and Garde in talks.

TRAVELOGUE: Trip to Mahabaleshwar

A journey to your favorite place is a much needed break wished by all of us. After a stressful and horrible period of ‘Covid we were fortunate enough to get along with our family and go to Mahabaleshwar, a beautiful hill station in Maharashtra. Known for its strawberries and raspberries, Mahabaleshwar is standing on the Western Ghats in the Sahyadri ranges. Above all, it also has religious importance as the holy Krishna river originates here. Best places to visit in Mahabaleshwar, which has Mapro Garden, Wax Museum, Wilson Point, Kate’s Point, Strawberry Garden, and Elphinstone Point.

We can go by rail, road and air depending on the distance between start and the end points. Additionally, it is also famous historically as it served as the capital of Bombay during the Summer. We visited only for two days, however it wasn’t enough as there were some places left due to shortage of time. Though it was the month of June still the nights were pretty cold and chilly winds hit us hard right from evening. Check previous travelog on this website.

Best places to Visit in Mahabaleshwar

There are many visiting sites like Wilson point, Elphinstone point, Arthur seats, Kates point, Bombay point etc. Obviously some locations are named after the Britishers as they ruled and dominated us. We met with a hilarious incident, at Kates Point one monkey tried to pull out the water bottle from our bag. That place has many monkeys and they are super active in jumping and catching things of their use so just be careful. The Mahadeo temple with its five rivers holds an important place .The other enjoyable places include Mapro garden, Pratapgad fort, Venna lake and the beautiful market around it. You can buy anything from trendy jackets to sporty shoes, catchy earrings to printed colorful clothing. A big collection of purses and different types of bags make up most of the market.

The food was both vegetarian and non-vegetarian to suit one’s taste buds. Many juice centers also cater our thirst. My family mostly enjoyed go karting and horse riding. We met an honest horse rider who owned a horse and his honesty left an indelible mark in our memories. After the horse ride we made an online payment which didn’t show up on the mobile screen and so we gave cash. Just after moving a little ahead we saw that owner coming to us and returning our cash. He had received the amount online and came to us returning it. An act of honesty is so rare to find. The horses had very interesting names; Sultan, Rustom, Salman, Wanted, Sardar, Bahubali , Chetak and Katappa…etc. We had a ride on Alina. Your family and kids will give you such details post journey as they remember and relish these things.

The whole town is among mountains and so the temperature is relatively low as compared to Mumbai, Thane, Pune and surrounding cities. It’s a beautiful site in the morning. The sunrise and sunset between the mountains is just mesmerizing. The hide and seek of the Sun hiding between and behind the mountains is lovely, especially during monsoon . We really had a refreshing time, although our stay was insufficient. I would advise anyone who is planning to go to have a good 4 to 5 days and then move there.

youtube mahabaleshwar trip

In summary, keep sufficient medication, chocolates, anti vomit home remedies for kids as the whole journey is full of curves high and low. Carry jackets and winter wear as it has a cold climate specially from evening to night. Hope you get guide about best places to visit in Mahabaleshwar?
