Rajmachi Point

Rajmachi Point is a scenic viewpoint located in Khandala, Maharashtra, situated along the Mumbai-Pune Highway. It offers panoramic views of the Rajmachi Fort and the surrounding Sahyadri mountain range. The point is a popular stop for travelers on the expressway, providing a vantage spot to observe the historic fortification and lush green valleys, particularly during the monsoon season when the landscape is verdant.

Visitors can expect a designated viewing area overlooking the deep valley and the twin forts of Shrivardhan and Manaranjan that comprise Rajmachi Fort. The site provides clear sightlines of the Sahyadri peaks and the winding highway below. It serves primarily as a photography and sightseeing stop rather than a trekking base at this specific location. Basic roadside amenities may be available nearby, but the point itself is an open observation spot.

The viewpoint overlooks Rajmachi Fort, which consists of Shrivardhan and Manaranjan forts. These fortifications were strategically important during the Maratha Empire and later under British control, serving as a watchtower over the Bor Ghat trade route connecting the Konkan coast to the Deccan plateau.
