In a nutshell
A world far away
Choose carefully the season and weather to go
vanessamumbai Says: It is nice to have a 10km walk there with open spaces and nice lookouts. Important to check the air quality before going. My latest trip there was quite a pity because it was hazy and the views were a far cry from my 1st 2 visits.Twice I was there in April, to find that the...
Liatris1 Says: The main thing to do in Matheran is to walk or ride a horse to the view points. There are beautiful views of the plains, lakes and mountains around.
Donna_in_India Says: Coronation Point is one of the almost 40 look-out points on Matheran. It faces west and overlooks an Adewashi village. You will have a sunset view here, but the best spot for the sunset is further north at Sunset Point.
Donna_in_India Says: Matheran is such a peaceful and relaxing place and it's no wonder that so many people escape the city to visit. You can spend long hours just walking in the dense forest stopping at the various look-out points along the way.Do be careful of monkeys overhead.
Donna_in_India Says: We encountered monkeys at all the look-out points we visited in Matheran. They were obviously very comfortable around people and happily took whatever food was offered.However, Matheran was one of the few places in India where we encountered some not so nice monkeys! One was...
Donna_in_India Says: Louisa Point is one of almost 40 look-out points in Matheran. From here, you can see the surrounding hills, valleys, and other look-out points. You can also see Vishalgad and Prabhal forts from Louisa Point.
RakeshKapadnis Says: As no vehicles are allowed from the entry point called Dasturi Naka. One has to simply walk or hire horses. Its a lifetime experience of going to various points on horseback.

Toy Train - Not a good choice for tourist
vanessamumbai Says: I have seen travel recommendations to take the Toy Train to/from Matheran. From my 3 experiences, I have come to the conclusion that it is not a viable option for tourists. In 2009, we tried to get on the train after paying for our entry fee, and were told visitors can only...

Donna_in_India Says: You will come across monkeys in many places in India - everywhere from temples to forts to jungles. The monkeys in the jungles are not used to interaction with humans and there is less chance they will bother you. The monkeys that have been fed by humans are more likely to...
A pair of good quality walking shoes
RakeshKapadnis Says: In order to see all the scenic points of Matheran, one has to walk almost 20-30 kms. You can make a programe of 2-3 days. The most essential thing in Matheran is good quality shoes. So dont forget to pack them.
