Arthur's Seat is a popular viewpoint in the verdant ranges of Mahabaleshwar, Maharashtra, India. Known as the 'Queen of Points', it rises to an elevation of about 1340 meters and offers a breathtaking view of the dense valleys of Brahma-Arayana and the Savitri river. The point got its name from Arthur Malet, who is said to have sat and gazed at the Savitri River, where he lost his wife and children in a tragic ferry mishap. This spot is often compared to the grand canyons of the Colorado River in the USA due to its stratification of rocks and dramatic geomorphology. The approach to Arthur's Seat is through a winding road lined with verdant greenery and is known for its resemblance to England's countryside, with mist-soaked vistas nearly all year round. The point also provides opportunities for hiking and trekking, attracting adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
