Alexander Point
A forested viewpoint on the southeastern side of Matheran, overlooking the deep valley, the mountain railway and the plains toward Palasdhari Lake.
Alexander Point sits on the southeastern edge of the plateau. It is named after a figure from the British colonial era and looks out over the deep valley, the railway and the plains toward Palasdhari Lake. The forest trail is shaded all the way, making it a pleasant walk. It is about 2 km from the market. From here you can continue south to Lamb's Point and Chowk Point to make a half-day southern loop. It sees fewer visitors than the northern points, which suits anyone who wants to enjoy the scenery in peace.
