Matheran is said to be one of India’s most beautiful, and the smallest, hill station, is located on the Western Ghats range. Matheran is a plateau with a reasonably dense forest cover of 8 square kilometers in Sahyadris. Matheran means "jungle on top". It is the perfect place for a picnic.What makes it even more special is that vehicles are banned, with the exception of emergency vehicles. Not even bicycles are used. The only modes of transport are on horseback, by man-pulled rickshaw, or on foot. To go up at the Matheran there is a toy train but we can also go through cab. We chose to go by cab as the toy train's tickets were not avaiable. Me and my three friends went on a sunday morning in 2008. On that day we took a early morning train and went to Neral and from there we took a cab till the hill station. We saw many points and really felt the beauty of nature, but there is a bit walking between any two points. There are many palaces at the Matheran, but most fo them were in a very sorry state. We saw many monkeys there who are always ready to snach your food and other stuff, so be aware of them!. At the end of the day we were totally exausted.
