Lodwick Point
A viewpoint named after the first British general to reach the Mahabaleshwar plateau, with a memorial pillar on the cliff and a view of Pratapgad Fort.
Lodwick Point is named after General Lodwick, the first British officer to reach the Mahabaleshwar plateau, in 1824. At an altitude of about 1,240 metres, it has a memorial pillar in his honour standing at the cliff edge. The point is surrounded by valleys on three sides. Looking west, you can see Pratapgad Fort and the cliffs of Elphinstone Point, and the rock formation known as the Elephant Head below the cliff is also a highlight. It is about a 10-minute walk through woodland from the parking area, and it is relatively quiet.
