Connaught Peak is the second highest peak of Mahabaleshwar which was formerly known as Mount Olympia, but then became popular as Connaught Peak after the Duke of Connaught visited this place and got mesmerised by its outstanding scenic charm. It is situated at a height of 1400 m above the sea level, and offers the awe-inspiring views of Pratapgad Fort, Venna Lake and the Krishna Valley. Apart from the nature lovers, it is considered as a beloved spot for the trekkers who never miss a chance to climb up here to view the refreshing sunrise and the peaceful sunset.

The pathway to peak is awesome which goes through dense forest but this place is isolated and lonely so go over there in group or in day light time, the view from the top is awesome, however there is nothing on top of the peak to seat or to spend time. As only one watch tower is there and that too abandoned which is scary when it's already lonely place, so some development is required to attract tourists. By maintaining nature's decorum.

Not much to do here. But it's a must visit for its view and peacefulness as you will not find many tourist here. I recommend a visit here but leave the place before sunset as it is isolated and you have drive through the forest which can be scary in dark..

It is a good sightseeing spot. Slightly crowded on top. Road to the point is also in a good condition as of now. The sightseeing tower/structure seems to be closed permanently though. Ample parking available at the location.

Good place to visit. Roads are really bad. You have to climb a little to reach the spot. The place is not maintained properly. The view from the top is good. But covered by tress.

At the peak it’s a very pleasant view of the forest. But do be careful when you climb the tower.
