Rambagh Point, Matheran

Rambaugh point is east point which is small and beautiful providing views of Garbett Plateau. Also cremation ground and park is situated nearby. Also Rambaugh point used this route to descend Matheran when Hugh Malet first climbed it through One tree hill route. This is one of the first route to Matheran. It also offers a good sunrise view.  

There is a small village at the base in Katwan valley from where villagers trek up to Matheran for doing business. There is a good route down towards the plains. If one has binoculars one can also see the Garbett plateau village. It very good for people who want to escape the crowd and go for long strolls in the deep forest. It is around 2km from market.
