About Arthur's Seat
Arthur's Seat, often called the "Queen of the Points", is Mahabaleshwar's most famous viewpoint, perched where the land drops sharply into deep valleys on either side — dense Konkan forest on one hand and barren cliffs on the other. The dramatic contrast and sweeping views make it a must-see.
