Standing at 1439 m, it is Mahabaleshwar's highest point. It is named after Leslie Wilson, the governor of Bombay Presidency (10 Dec 1923 - 8 Dec 1928). There are a couple of bastion-shaped viewpoints. It is a popular viewpoint offering great views, especially during sunrise.
The falls consists of two parts - the upper longer part and the shorter lower part. A half an hour trek is required to reach the view point of the falls.
Named after Peter Lodwick, a British officer who first climbed the hill in April 1824. To mark his accomplishment, his son erected a 25 feet column, which stands to this day. Here also the views are great with unobstructed views of the nearby Pratapgad Fort.
The temple complex in old Mahabaleshwar houses three temples. They are Mahabaleshwar Temple, Atibaleshwar Temple and Panchaganga Temple. The temples date back centuries before the colonial period and are topped with pyramidal spires. The entire complex is heavily encroached with makeshift stalls selling items of worship. Photography is restricted in the interiors of the first three temples.
