Mahabaleshwar is a small town in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is a hill station located in the Sahyadri mountain range with the elevation of 1,353 meters above the sea level and it used to be summer capital of Bombay province during the British Raj. Mahabaleshwar is definitely the Grand Canyon of India with deep gorges and beautiful view points of the Western Ghats. There are various viewpoints like Arthur Point, 3 Monkey point, Kate point, Needle hole point, Savitri point. The most stunning was the Kate’s point which gives the panoramic view of the Balakwadi dam and the river Krishna piercing through the mountain ranges. Its around 125 kms from Pune and easily accessible by road. Definitely one of the scenic touristic spots to watch out for in Maharashtra.
