Porcupine Point (Sunset Point)

Porcupine Point, also known as Sunset Point, is a prominent viewpoint located in Matheran, Maharashtra. Situated at the western edge of the hill station, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding Sahyadri valleys and is specifically renowned for sunset vistas. The point features a rocky outcrop with safety railings and provides clear sightlines over the dense forest canopy below. It is one of the designated tourist points within the eco-sensitive zone of Matheran.

Visitors can expect a designated viewing platform with safety railings overlooking deep valleys and forested hills. The site is primarily visited during late afternoon for sunset views. The terrain is rocky and uneven near the edge. As Matheran is an automobile-free zone, access is by foot or horseback from the nearest vehicle drop-off point. Basic seating may be available, but facilities are limited at the viewpoint itself.
