Matheran |
|
|
| Matheran is an undulating
hilltop cloaked in shady trees that sprawls languidly at an altitude of
800m. the journey involves an adventurous two hour ascent in a toy train.
Alternatively, a tough 11 km hike through thick and shady forests or a
winding car drive is possible. Matheran's cliffs, with incredibly steep
drops to the plains below, create stunning viewing points.
On a clear night one can even see the
lights of Mumbai from Hart Point. charlotte Lake, the Panther's Caves and
Paymaster Park are other attractions. Vehicles of any kind are not
permitted in the town, which makes it a very quiet and serene place. |
