Geographically positioned at a height of approximately 1340 meters, Arthur Seat Point displays a beautiful and captivating view of deep gorges, verdant tree cover, and the beautiful Savitri River flowing yonder.

Arthur Seat Point Mahabaleshwar is regarded as the “Queen of All Points” due to its peaceful ambience and eye-catching scenic beauty.
