Bombay Point
The most popular sunset viewpoint in town, a wide cliff facing the western hills, crowded with visitors in the evening.
Bombay Point, also known as Sunset Point, takes its name from the old road to Bombay that passed this way. It is Mahabaleshwar's oldest and liveliest viewpoint. The wide cliff faces the Western Ghats, and at sunset the valleys are bathed in gold. Visitors and vendors gather here, and you can go horse riding or enjoy snacks. It is about 3 km from the main market, so arrive half an hour before sunset to secure a good spot.
