“Highest Point in Mahabaleshwar.”
This is the highest point in Mahabaleshwar, at an altitude of 1435
metres. It is about 2 km from the Market as you go along the Satara
Road. After about 1 km from the market you have to take a left turn when
you see the sign board of ‘Hotel Gautam’. The road leading up to the
point is very steep and narrow and you have to be very careful while
driving up. This road goes all the way up and around the point and
emerges back on Satara Road a little further up. It is supposed to be a
one way street, but you may still encounter some cars coming the wrong
way.
Wilson Point is a large rocky plateau, with three viewing platforms where many tourists come to view the sunrise. The perimeter of this plateau is more than a kilometre and is an excellent place for a morning or evening walk, if you are staying nearby.
From the viewing platforms you get excellent 180 degree views of the bungalows and tree covered hills all around. The platforms are always crowded early in the morning, even if it is a cloudy day. The beautiful sunrise viewed from here on a clear day is indeed spectacular to watch.
Being the closest point to the market, one can even drive up to the point around sunset and view the twinkling lights of Mahabaleshwar town and Panchgani in the distance.
