Elephant's Head Point

Elephant Head Point (Needle Hole Point) is one of Mahabaleshwar's most unique geological viewpoints — twin rocks forming the shape of an elephant's head and trunk over a sheer valley drop, with fine Koyna and Darna Valley views. A top Mahabaleshwar photography and sightseeing destination. Free entry; 15 km from town centre. Best combined with Arthur's Seat and Bombay Point on a single viewpoint drive. The rock formation is most clearly defined when viewed from the designated platform.
