Kamal gad fort can be seen from here only if you have superzoom lens or if you pay the telescope operator.
Echo Point, which wasn’t echoing anything when we shouted.. (Not sure if we didn't should loud enough)
There’s a 10 Rs per person entry fee at Kate’s point. A restaurant & fancy items shop also exist near the view point. A few strawberry farms and ice cream shops are closer.
You can stand behind these and get your photos clicked, for a fee.
Horse rides can be had for Rs 100 (300 meters). More about Mahabaleshwar horses here

ReplyDeleteI love view points like this. Nice to see Kate's point through your pictures. The massive rocky landscape is quite a sight, eh.
ReplyDeleteEcho Points seem to have lost the ability to throw back our voices (in most places) I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad one. :)
