Louisa Point in Matheran

Friday, February 8, 2013

This is one of the biggest points in Matheran.

It offers a 360o-view of Matheran. This point is fenced with a few cutouts for people who want to shoot pictures of themselves on the hill rocks.

 There are many monkeys here. I guess they all migrated here from Monkeys Point, as many people visit this place and they know that they can get food here.

I was attacked by a monkey here. It wanted me to part with my pouch but I refused to let go. Fortunately, for me, one of the locals intervened on my behalf. My pouch and I were let off easily thereafter. The monkey went its way.

A golden plated binocular nicely rested on a tripod here offers a view of five points at a price of Rs.20. The binocular looked like the ones used by the sailors from the 19th century.
