Matheran is a very famous hill station and a popular weekend gets a way for the Mumbaiites. There are many different hiking routes to reach the top. The most common is one by the motorable road from Neral, which can get very monotonous.Some other routes are via Peb Fort, via One tree hill...Garbett point route is relatively lesser known.
