About Matheran

Matheran is a car-free hill station in the Sahyadris of Maharashtra, about 90 km from Mumbai, known for misty viewpoints, red laterite trails, and the heritage toy train from Neral. Private vehicles stay outside town, so you walk, ride a horse, or take a hand-pulled rickshaw between spots like Echo Point, Louisa Point, and Charlotte Lake. It suits quiet walks and monsoon greenery more than nightlife or packed sightseeing days.
