Babington Point, situated at an altitude of 1,294 meters above sea level, is a scenic viewpoint in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India. Located on a lush slope in Mahabaleshwar, it offers panoramic views of the Koyna Valley and the Chinaman's waterfall. Named after the British officer, Babington, it is a haven for nature lovers and photographers seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The path leading to Babington Point meanders through dense forests with a diverse array of flora, including wildflowers and towering trees.
