Garbut Point - Matheran's Majestic Vista!

While there isn't a specific documented historical event directly linked to Garbut Point, its significance lies in its vantage point. During the British Raj, Matheran was developed as a hill station to escape the summer heat of Mumbai (then Bombay). Garbut Point, along with other viewpoints, would have served as strategic observation points and places for leisure and recreation for the British officers and their families. The natural beauty and panoramic views offered by the point would have undoubtedly been appreciated by them, contributing to Matheran's popularity as a retreat. Its name may have been derived from a British officer or a local figure, but specific records are scarce. Today, it continues to be a celebrated spot for its scenic beauty, attracting tourists from all over.
