Matheran Reviews

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
There are in all 18 points in Matheran which can be covered on horse or by walking enjoying the hilly areas around you . Matheran is one the most secured place i have ever found and the people over here are very polite and good.

Activities & things to do
But would really like to suggest you the little chowk point which is around 2.5 kms from market place.. but the view from this point is beauty which I can?t really explain in words. I visited this point in evening at around 5 and the view was awesome covering many places in your eyes.. the Morbe dam which is a huge dam build to supply water to Navi Mumbai areas, Karjat, Lonavla, express high way, old highway ( Mumbai ? Pune), Rasayani , Panvel and many more Places? The real beauty starts when it starts getting dark and the lights starts glowing in the citys and small village .. stars come out popping from the dark blue sky and moon shines on your head.. It gives a such a sexy view as if you are god watching the earth from the sky.. and stars twinkling around you.. the lights of vehicles on the road.. I was amazed to see the view ? We were sitting at this point for more than 4-5 hours talking on various topics and enjoying the view and dint understand when the time passed out in seconds..

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Yes always do carry a torch with you if you are out in evening as there are no lights around. There is a mini train from Neral station which lies on central railway when moving towards karjat side from kalyan. Also by road you can reach Matheran ( From mumbai vai badlapur its 80Kms and vai mumbai pune old high way its 95 Kms).. There are steeps slopes when moving up the hill of Matheran so a professional driver is more recommended. You can also take down the local taxi cars from just out of Neral station to reach to Matheran for which they charge you 50Rs per head. Please do not carry new clothes or white or light colored clothes or foot wear they will never be use able again...
