We made this trip planning actually the previous night, so the plan was simple, we will go via bike till Matheran and from there by trekking and seriously I mean if you guys want to enjoy the real Matheran trip, my advice is to go by walking from Matheran entrance till the market, because while doing this we were just means oh my god, it was fab, the nature, the surrounding, environment everything was awesome. The distance from Matheran to the main Matheran market is around 2.5kms, and yes its just a number you will not know how the time went away while walking and enjoying, for us it took 1 hour to reach without taking any stops (except while taking selfies).
