Begin your adventure with a trek to Matheran via Garbett Point. This trail offers a thrilling experience as you ascend to the top of the hill and hike through the lush green forest. The view is breathtaking, and you will spot several species of birds along the way. Don't forget to carry sufficient water and snacks as no vending zones are available along the route. Plan to arrive at the viewpoint just before sunrise or sunset to catch the best view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Visit the Charlotte Lake, which spreads over an area of about 50 acres. It is a beautiful sight with verdant greenery, birds, and a waterfall. Visit Pisharnath Mahadev Mandir, a temple dedicated to Lord Mahadev. The journey to the temple is another trek that offers a picturesque view of the nearby lakes and waterfalls.
If you have an extra day, explore more of Matheran by visiting the various viewpoints like Louisa Point, Echo Point or One Tree Hill. For those seeking more adventure, enjoy a horse ride or zipline experience. If you are short on time, skip Charlotte Lake. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, carry enough water and snacks, and be prepared for trekking.
