Matheran During Monsoon...
It Feels like heaven!
Matheran is
one of the
places you must visit...
Toy train is not operational from Neral during monsoon
You can either trek the whole way or take a cab till Dasturi Naka
From there you can take toy train from Aman Lodge to Matheran or ride a horse or trek...
Weekends can get very croweded, so be prepared,
Try to visit during weekdays
You can either return the same day or stay for night.
There are many hotels available for all budgets.
Alert!!
The road to tourist points can get slippery and muddy due to rain, so be prepared- both mentally and with cloths!!
Don't forget to buy stuff from locals, both food and souvenir
Recently there was a lsnd slide at one of the spot near Moneky Point, hence that spot is closed for tourists, other spots are stil open.
You can either plan a 1 day trip or book hotels, resorts or home stay there.
Home stay is as cheap as Rs.500!
It gets pretty dark at evenings, so plan to return before sunset
While returning, you can take the toy train till Aman Lodge and get a cab to Neral.
