Destination: 02 Nights Matheran

INTRODUCTION

Sprawling languidly at an altitude of 800 meters is Matheran – an undulating hilltop cloaked in green.

Your toy train chugs along slowly without a care in the world. During the two hour ascent, food vendors and monkeys jump on and off as the valley glides by sedately.

The cliffs of Matheran with incredibly steep drops to the plains below offer stunning viewing points. These panoramic vistas, by day and night, leave you feeling light headed. Standing at Hart Point in pitch darkness you get a breathtaking glimpse of the lights of busy Bombay. Matheran abounds in such quixotically named points. Popular sites for picnics and fireside revelry.

The old world charm of the British and Parsi home captivates you all the way up to the Charlotte Lake. On each trip through the main bazaar you purchase some of its attractions – care and leather articles, hats, chappals and the irresistible chikki loved by young and old alike.
