Belvedere Point, Majories Nook, Matheran


Belvedere point and Majories Nook are close to each other near One tree hill point. However this point was earlier very dangerous due to steep cliffs and flowing water. Recently it has been developed and railings have been placed to make it safe. Now this point has grown very big providing beautiful views of Prabalgad and Irshalgad. Also during monsoon, small waterfalls flow in these point.

Majories nook however is closed to it. It is a deep cut valley through which water flows during monsoon. One can go to the nooks start point which opens up into the deep valley. Also a small pinnacle is located at the Majories Nook. There is also a water spring here called Ain. It is dry during summers now.
