Matheran is a fascinating hill-station 80 kms east of Mumbai in Alibag
district situated at an Altitude of 800 m. This little hill paradise has
been left largely undisturbed. Matheran is the closest hill station to
Mumbai and Pune. Ideally suited for the weekend Matheran provides a
break from the city. Perched on top of a hill and enveloped in shady
trees, Matheran is ringed by walking tracks. The views from the look
out, which drop sheer to the plains, is fantastic. On clean days it is
even possible to see Mumbai from Hart Point. The journey involves an
adventurous two-hour ascent in a toy train. With food and drink vendors
and monkeys jumping on and off, as the valley glides by sedately.
