Wilson Point
The highest point in Mahabaleshwar and the only viewpoint where you can see both sunrise and sunset, with three circular observation platforms.
Wilson Point sits at an altitude of about 1,439 metres and is the highest point in Mahabaleshwar. Known as the 'Sunrise Point', it is named after Leslie Wilson, Governor of Bombay. Three circular observation platforms stand on the summit. On clear mornings, you can watch the sun rise over distant ridges, and it is also good for sunset. It is only about 1.5 km from the main market, so it is an easy early-morning walk, and people often practise yoga here in the mornings.
