Arthur's Seat:
Queen of all points. Some compare the stratifications of rocks on southern side to the world famous stratification of rocks of the Grand Canyon of Colorado, USA. It is fascinating to see the barren deep valley Savitri on the left & shallow green valley on the right. It is more fascinating to know that Arthur's seat is the only place showing geographical distinction of kokan & Desh (Deccan), two territories of Mahabaleshwar, so clear & so near. If you go by the steps you come across a spring known as Tiger's spring which is supposed to be the source of the river Savitri.
Baghdad Point:
A very beautiful point. It goes past village Moleshware on the way. You see a superb scenic view of the back waters of koyna dam on your left, river solshi in front of you with tiny villages as if squatting on river banks & vast green slopes of Mahabaleshwar plateau on your right. There is also an echo point.
Gaolani Point:
At a distance of about 7 kms from ST bus station, by Tapola road you will meet the junction of road which will lead you to village Maharola. From Gaolani point you can enjoy the scenery of two valleys on the two sides. If you walk by Gaolani ride you will enjoy the scenery of koyana valley on your right hand at many spots.
Babington Point, Northcote Point, Falkland Point, Carnac Point, Fitzgerald Point, and Bombay Point are some other famous peaks of Mahabaleshwar.
