Mahabaleshwar Honeymoon Tour Packages

1. Elephant Head Point: Deriving its name from the rock formations that resemble an elephant’s head and trunk, the Elephant’s Point is one of the most picturesque and peaceful venues of Mahabaleshwar. The shades of green here are enticing and the location emanates positive vibes as you spot friends, families, and loved ones breathing in the natural beauty and picnicking at the spot.

Being a hotspot for tourists from near and far, the locals have now decided to convert the remnants of a nearby, British-era hotel into a picnic shed. So make sure you carry along with a few goodies and spend a memorable time here with your loved one.

2. Echo Point: One of the most popular spots of Mahabaleshwar, Echo Point is among the six points that you can witness from Arthur’s Seat. It is also called Kate’s Point, named after Kate, the daughter of Sir James Malcolm, an authority during the British Raj.

You can sit atop the point and express your love out loud for your partner. Your love shall reverberate through the mountains around, justifying why this point, overlooking the dams and valleys of the town, is a favourite among tourists.

3. Pratapgarh: At an elevation of 3500 feet above ground level, Pratapgadh, which literally translates to ‘Valour Fort’ stands tall and mighty. The fort is home to the Statue of Shivaji Maharaja and the Bhawani Temple, an epitome of serenity and spirituality.

There is also a cultural library depicting the heritage of the fort, an ancient watchtower, and four lakes within that often overflow during the monsoons, adding to the beauty of the place. Make sure you trek up to the temple at the fort’s peak and seek blessings for a life of togetherness.

Make sure you head here during the monsoons, because after the rains, although the falls are mightier and prettier, owing to these very reasons they are also pretty dangerous.
