One of the most popular spots. This is at the end of the road, that is a dead end. There is no parking available, and during peak season it may be impossible to get a spot on the sides of the road. You can park at Savitri point, just 300 m away, and walk to Arthur's seat point, with several other points along the way. Castle Rock point is also nearby. There are lot of eateries at the entrance. There is also a Sulabh toilet but don't expect cleanliness, lights and doors inside. There are no toilets available at other points on the way and you may be hours away from the next one.
