    Boating:

    It is a point which offers the best view of Saputara and adjoining Malegoan could be reachedafter a walk of 1.5 km in the direction of Waghai.

    The naming restricts the tourist traffic to this best place as tourists believe that the pointshould only be visited at sun rise, however,

    one may visit it at any time of the day to catch a panoramic view. The Tata ConsultancyServices has suggested renaming this point as Valley View Point to enhance tourist traffic.
