Alexander Point is a scenic vista located in the serene hill station of Matheran in Maharashtra, India. The point offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding areas, including the lush green valleys and the Palasdari Lake. It is named after Sir Alexander, who spent considerable time in the area during the British rule. The verdant landscapes and the cool breeze at the altitude make it a favorite spot for both tourists and locals. The view from Alexander Point stretches across to the Rambagh Point and offers a sight of the Bhivpuri Power House Towers in the distance. The point is a peaceful retreat and is accessible by walking or horseback. Matheran's eco-sensitive region ensures a pollution-free environment, as no vehicles are allowed, contributing to the scenic and pristine nature of the location. It is an ideal spot for nature lovers, trekkers, and photographers seeking to capture the beauty of the Western Ghats. Early mornings at Alexander Point are magical, with the possibility of witnessing a blanket of mist over the valleys, while sunsets are equally rewarding with hues of orange and pink gracing the sky.
