Gureghar Natural Trail - Mahabaleshwar    Share

Gureghar Nature Trail is one of the lesser known attractions of Mahabaleshwar, maybe because it is at a little distance away from the hill station. Most of the tourists visit Mapro Garden and overlook the Gureghar Nature Trail, and hence miss one of the most beautiful points of Mahabaleshwar. We entered through a small gate opposite Mapro Garden, leading to the trail. Vehicles are not allowed inside. We walked at a leisurely pace up the narrow winding stony pathway which was gently sloping upwards. At times the slope would get steeper and there are rocks and stones on the path. There are trees and bushes on both sides of the trail and we were literally walking in a jungle. Some of the trees had a placard with their common and botanical names attached to them, like jambul, hirda, gella and pissa. There were stone benches at regular intervals so we could rest for a while. After walking about 20 minutes we reached the watchtower which is the Triveni Point. We got an excellent 360 degree view of the whole Panchgani Mahabaleshwar plateau from here.

Great view form the top! A structure at a decent height is perfect for viewing a large portion of Mahabaleshwar and Satara! There are a few points that can be viewed from this place. Reaching the place needs takes some walking of about 10-15 minutes.

Nice small short trek for families with kids. Enjoyed our visit during the monsoons. Thankfully they have not put shops inside... hope they keep it that way.

I was just dying to write a review. You should not miss this in Mahabaleshwar if you are a nature lover and a trekker (just a small walk. Not a trek). Not a single person was there. So it was just the King (myselves) and my Queen (Wife). A great scenic view as you reach the top.

It's has awesome view from top giving a 360° viewing. Monsoon makes the trail even more exciting
