Day 1

When I was in 8th standard we had one chapter based on hill station in English subject. That chapter was described everything about Matheran so well that anyone will fall in love by just reading the experience of Matheran by writer. If someone ask you the address of heaven then you can definitely give him/her co-ordinates of Matheran for sure. During monsoon and winter this place is beyond imaginable. And trekking to garbett plateau is different experience to have in monsoon. Lush green grass over mountains and river flowing through zig zag mountains will definitely make some place in your heart. Western ghats are my all time favourite but only regret is that, it doesn't get snowfall 😁. Foggy trails, tall waterfalls, refreshing air and drizzle makes perfect place to enjoy. Matheran is the smallest hill station in India. #NotInNorth

How to reach-
From Mumbai take local train to Karjat and get down at Bhivpuri road station.
If you are traveling from Pune then take train till Karjat and board local train to csmt/Kalyan/thane etc and get down at Bhivpuri road station.(which is just 2 station from Karjat)

From Bhivpuri road walk to Dam and ask local for trek route. It takes 4 hours to reach garbett point (Matheran). From there you don't need to descend back. From garbett point walk 1.5km from forest trail to Dasturi Naka(Taxi stand) Matheran. From there you can go back to your respective place or stay in Matheran to enjoy more.

Foggy morning
