Mahabaleshwar
is one destination that never ceases to surprise. Disappointment is a word that
will never pop into your head when you go travelling to Mahabaleshwar. While
there are several tourist destinations around the city, two places highly
recommended are Elphinstone Point and Arthur's Seat.
One
of the most famous and beautiful destinations in Mahabaleshwar, Elphinstone
Point was named after the Governor of Bombay, Sir Elphinston, and was
originally discovered by Dr. Murray in 1830. From the Elphinstone Point, one can
get a supremely clear view of Pratapgarh and it also overlooks two valleys, the
Koyana on the left and the Savitri on the right.
The
ravine between Elphinstone Point and Arthur Seat is the rise of the Savitri River, with Arthur?s Seat located a mere
two miles away from Elphinstone Point.
