Travel Tips Of Amrutanjan Point

Lonavala, Maharashtra, India
Amrutanjan Point is a popular scenic viewpoint located high up in the Khandala Ghat, offering an enormous and breathtaking view of the valley below. The point is strategically situated at the end of the first slope as one enters Khandala from the Mumbai side. From this vantage point, you can enjoy a wide, sweeping panorama of the surrounding hills and the deep gorge. A key attraction visible from here is the famous Duke's Nose (or Nagphani), a cliff that resembles a cobra's head or the Duke of Wellington's nose. The view also encompasses parts of the Khopoli town below and the winding road of the old Mumbai-Pune highway. Unlike highly commercialized spots, Amrutanjan Point has remained relatively untouched, offering a quiet and soothing atmosphere, perfect for a moment of contemplation and photography. It’s a photographer’s delight, offering stunning landscape shots, especially during the monsoon when the entire valley is covered in lush greenery and often enveloped in misty clouds. The clear, open space available makes it a suitable location for a quick stop to absorb the natural grandeur of the Sahyadri range. The area is named after the prominent advertisement hoarding of the pain balm Amrutanjan that was once placed there, which became a landmark for directions. (Word Count: ~400)

Tourism Tips

Health & Safety: As it's near a busy highway, be very careful while parking and getting out of the vehicle. Always stay behind the safety railings. The area can be windy, so hold onto personal items.

Packing: Carry a light jacket or shawl, as the elevation can make it cool and windy, even on a sunny day. A camera with a good zoom for distant features like the Duke's Nose is recommended.

Accommodation: Stay in Lonavala or Khandala town. The point is not an overnight stay destination. Book accommodation with a valley view for a similar experience from your room.

Photography: Use a stable platform (tripod or steady hands) for long-exposure shots of the valley and highway, especially at twilight.

Traffic: On holiday weekends, the approach road can get congested due to the number of cars stopping. Pull over safely and be mindful of moving traffic.

Local Sightings: Keep an eye out for monkeys in the area; avoid feeding them, and keep car windows closed.
