Day 1

I am sharing my experience of Matheran, It is a beautiful tiny hill station in  Raigad district and is perfect for weekend getaway, the moment i step into Matheran I was welcomed by the cold breeze which rejuvenates my soul, i was way more exciting to explore the scenic beauty of Matheran.

To reach Matheran i board a local train from Thane to Karjat get down at Neral, through Taxi i reached Aman Lodge, then i had multiple options to reach the centre of Matheran -horses, toy train and my favourite part trek so, i preferred to walk to the centre, as i have visited in rainy season, atmosphere was cool, relaxing i was in peace without the hustle bustle of city life and i could see the clouds floating, misty mountains, lush greeneries

Matheran is all about trekking and sights seeing if you love to trek  and are nature lover like me it's a right place for you, there are number of lookout point there but i cannot visit all in a day, i had covered few beautiful points - Louisa point, Echo point, Charlotte lake, Panorama Point.
On our way back we decided to enjoy toy train ride, toy train is currently running between Matheran to Aman lodge only.
