Nature trail and mild walking. Both Lodwick and elephant head point are close by. Beware of monkeys though!

Great views from Lodwick point but I would recommend walking further down to Elephant Point for the best views.
It is a 500m walk to Lodwick Point and 800m walk to Elephant Point one-way from the parking lot.

Mahabaleshwar is a small town and a municipal council in Satara district, Maharashtra, India. It is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus because the Krishna river has its origin here.
The British colonial rulers developed the town as a hill station, and served as the summer capital of Bombay Presidency during the British Raj.
In 1819, after the demise of the Maratha empire, the British ceded the hills around Mahabaleshwar to the vassal state of Satara. Colonel Lodwick (Later General Sir Lodwick) after climbing the mountains near Mahabaleshwar, recommended the place as a sanatorium for the British forces to governor Sir John Malcolm of Bombay presidency. The Raja of Satara was granted other villages in exchange for the British getting Mahabaleshwar in 1828.

a stunning view of the surrounding hills and valleys, making it a popular spot for nature lovers and photographers.
The point is named after General Lodwick, who was the first British officer to climb the hill. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk through the greenery or indulge in adventure activities like rock climbing and rappelling. Overall, Lodwick Point is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to relax and unwind amidst the natural beauty of Mahabaleshwar.

It is located about 5 km from bus stand. It is named after General Lodwick, who was the first British officer to climb the hill in 1824. His son erected a column of 25 feet in honor of his father.
It is about 500 meter walk from parking lot through forest on a smooth road. Further 200 meter ahead is Elephant Head point. It's better to go early in the morning to avoid crowd. Avoid during rains. As far as view is concerned , it's just too good from this point. A paradise for nature lovers.
