Monkey Point in Matheran, Maharashtra, India, is a popular tourist spot known for its panoramic views and a large population of monkeys that inhabit the area.

This point offers breathtaking views of the lush greenery and the valleys below, often enveloped in mist. Tourists enjoy the playful antics of the monkeys, but are also advised to be cautious with their belongings as monkeys are known to be quite mischievous.
