Arguably the best point on this road. Not even "Arthur's seat" beats this in my opinion. The reason I give such a statement is simply because of less tourists. This point gets ignored easily and that's the best part. There are proper steps leading to the point and the views are marvellous. The place looks spectacular if you're visiting during the monsoons. Parking is just outside on road.

Mahabaleshwar market, has its own rustic charm. Just walk the street, in peace as traffic will not bother u, as they are not allowed. Shop for bedsheets, rajai, footwear, especially leather, big cloth or jute bags, purses or other leather products, have a grilled sandwich and strawberry or mango shake at strawberry den, or a bite at panorama hotel, buy seasonal fruits being sold by street hawkers, including vegetables if required. In short, a good short walk and u will return with hands and stomach full. Parking is available at Rs 50 at the start point.
