Get to know more about Mahabaleshwar before booking your tour packages
Located on the mountainous Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats, Mahabaleshwar is a vast plateau that measures 150 Kms and is bound by valleys on each side. The town is a source of the Krishna River that flows across Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
The history of Mahabaleshwar can be traced with its historical mention that dates back to the year 1215 when the King Singham of Deogiri ruled the town. Later in around 1350, it was taken over and ruled by a Brahmin dynasty until the Marathas took over in the mid 16th century. The family of Chandrarao More took over the Brahmin dynasty and became the ruler of Javli and Mahabaleshwar. However, due to some political circumstances in 1656, the founder of the Maratha empire Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj killed Chandrarao More and seized both his territories. During this time, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj also built a fort near Mahabaleshwar named Pratapgad. The fort remains in the hands of his descendants even today and is among the major attractions of the city.
It was in the early 18th century after the demise of the Maratha empire, when the British visited Mahabaleshwar and recommended the place to be a sanatorium for the British forces to governor Sir John Malcolm of the Bombay Presidency. In old records, the town has even been referred to as Malcolm Peth. Further, in the mid-18th century, the town served as the summer capital of the then Bombay Presidency, which further led to its massive development. This included the construction of libraries, schools, theatres, lakes, and sports grounds.
By the end of the 19th century, Mahabaleshwar became a world-renowned hill station that attracted travellers for its magnificent scenic points, springs streams, waterfall, and strawberry farms.
