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. It takes us through some breathtaking scenery, green farmlands, a lake, a plateau. The view from the plateau is magnificent!
This route can be taken only during the monsoons since it has very few trees on the way and it could get really hot during any other season.
