Honeymoon Point is very tranquil and offers a wonderful view of Matheran's splendid mountains. From here, one can see Prabal Fort, various valleys accommodating civilisations and a beautiful sky that changes colours at dusk. The view of mountains from Honeymoon Point is such that you would call them ‘Indian Grand Canyon’. There is no factual explanation as to why this point has been named Honeymoon Point. I brainstormed and came up with a few reasons. One hypothesis says that this place is a little secluded because you actually need to cross some bushes to reach here. Second is that it offers a romantic view. Both facts are good enough to name this peak as Honeymoon Point. My group spent perfect 30 minutes of mindfulness hearing nothing but the sound of air and leaves, which left us rejuvenated. It was like meditation. Not many people visit this point, so you spend undisturbed moments lying down and gazing at the sky while talking to your partner. Some people even enjoy picnicking here. Make sure that you carry your trash with you and dispose off in a dustbin. This point is very close to Louisa Point and Echo Point; and similar to them, it is a very good subject to be captured through lens as it is rarely crowded. Hence, it gives the freedom to amateur photographers to experiment with different angles and lenses to capture a variety of pictures and improve their skill.
