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 and there are no washroom facilities here.

It's a must visit view point. There's at least 6 breathtaking view points located one near another. Road side parking available. Be aware of monkeys that attack if you carry food in hands. Small food stands available too. It's a great selfi point too.

Mesmerise view..full of mountains.. in between Arthur and Savithri point… endless mountains.. full of Valleys..

Castle Rock point is a point famous because Sunny Deol performed a dance in one of his movie in this rock. You can enter here, take a walk to Hinting Point, Echo Point and Savitri point and come out of other side. You can do reverse as well. It is less crowded than other points. There are few eateries here. The walk is good, there are steps to go down and then come up and the view faces Savitri valley.

Castle Rock point is a mountaintop destination offering panoramic views of the surrounding Valley and peaks. The viewing point lies on the road to Arthur's seat point from the Mahabaleshwar main road. This point we found when we explored Savitri point and returned to main road. it is other side of the Savitri point. Savitri point and Castle Rock points are adjacent to each other and beautiful views can be enjoyed here. Best part of this point is it is adjacent to main road and sufficient parking space is available.

Best option to enjoy nature of beauty. I visited in rainy season which was full of fog. Situated in Satara district in Mahabaleshwar town which is full of nature. This area is very pleasant and always cool. There will be nearby points to this Kate's points and etc Snacks options are also available near to this point but be aware from monkeys of you are eating something then they will snatch it. If you are travelling from bus or other mode then you can hire local taxi near bus stop they will show you all the tourist places near by.

A beautiful view point overlooking the valley and the mountains of Mahabaleshwar.

I enjoyed visiting this place as well. Missed to take a picture of the rock. The Maharashtra Government has really well managed and maintained these points.

Good!!Wonderful place . 😍😍😍😍must visit

Avoid to visit in weekend, holidays and peak season. Road is narrow. Heavy traffic on road. Maintain distance from monkey. They will snatch food mobile anything from you. Maintain single lane on road. Avoid overtake.

There are 4 points at this place. Good to see the cleanliness.

You can view the Valley of Raigad District. Savitri Point is near by

Awesome experience here... Clicking photos is a must here... Cherish some wonderful memories in the Sahyadri Mountains 😝😄

Supurb place, it feels we are in Heaven. Lovely rows of mountains, Also you can see layers on mountains. Nice Nature for Click photos.

Calm and picturesque site. Right besides Savitri point. Both are in fact connected through a path passing through bushy and rocky terrain, overlooking breathtaking valley views.

This place is such a bliss. Hills are so good and clear from this point, only walking distance from author point . Pedestrian are so well maintained to capture a hill view..... Recommended

Superb point view in Mahabaleshwar. Wind was tremendous and enjoyed it. It is accompanied with Saraswati point which is really great.

Nice place to visit but nowadays entry is closed bcoz of repairing..but the rocks are very beautiful to see..must visit

A wondrous place on the cliffs. The place is named after a rock which is present at the point. Must visit during monsoon, if want to enjoy the fog. Or if you want to view the long clear view of the mounts and valleys and rivers, visit on a clear summer day. Visibility is excellent in summers. The point gives a beautiful panoramic view of the Western Ghats and the Savitri river. The point has beautiful greens for shade. Best for taking beautiful images.

Much more secluded and accessible compared to Arthur's chair, elphinstone point and others..no crowd and not much hawkers..good place for a hike

The Castle Rock Point, Savitri Point, Echo and Hunting Point are all close to each other. Kudos to the management to build steps and try and upkeep the location. It was cloudy when when we reached Castle Rock point and it truly was surreal when we reached there. The views were breathtaking very less crowd around. We had great time at the point!
