01-Night Excursion to Matheran

At an elevation of around 800m (2,625 ft) above sea level Matheran is a hill station located about 120 km from Pune. Matheran literally means jungle on top. All vehicles (Except emergency vehicles) are banned here. The roads are not tarred and are made of red laterite earth - The only modes of transport are on Horseback, by man-pulled rickshaw, or on foot.

Every one living in cities needs this sort of change once in a while. Old British-style architecture has been preserved in Matheran and most structures are now heritage structures. Matheran has been declared an eco sensitive region by the Union Environment Ministry (GoI).
