Sunset Point

Matheran's Sunset Point, also known as Porcupine Point, is almost 2 km away (25 minutes’ walk) from the marketplace. To reach this vantage point, you walk through the woods, admiring greenery and antique cottages. Individuals see countless sunsets during their lifetime, but every time they are left in a different state of mind and heart. The view offered by Matheran's sunset is so striking that you'll fall in love with it for eternity at the very first glance. When the sun goes down behind the mountains, they glow. It looks like god has painted the sky in a perfect blend of blue, white, yellow, red and brown colours. Sit silently and gaze at that mesmerising painting. It works as a healer as you feel the peace and dive deep in this pure beauty of nature. They say that sunrise and sunset are the biggest clichés in photography, but still we clicked some of the best pictures here. Be a little careful because some edges are little scary. Make sure to come back to your hotel before it gets too dark unless you want a thrilling experience! We did this mistake and not to mention that we were scared to death because there are very few lights in the woods and it's really tough to figure out your way as everything looks similar. It would be wise to carry a torch along.
