Arthur's seat is popularly known as Queen of the points. This place is famous for the Floating of light objects. If you throw light things like a bottle cap in the valley, it comes up or floats due to the air pressure. Arthur's seat offers a fascinating view of the Verdant valley and the river Savitri.

It is said that Sir Arthur came here to admire the pleasing view of Mahabaleshwar.
