Its good to have trip to Matheran so that we can relief from busy and hectic work life schedule.Be careful of below things,
1) Toy train has been stop from a year now so have to go by share omni till car parking stand and then by rented horse till market.Horse owner will charge Rs 300 per head up to market and if we choose to see any sight point on the way then have to pay Rs 1100 per head for just 5 sight point.
2) Do not plan to see all sight point just see 10 as that is enough.All sight points are same just the angle is change of watching.
3) Roads are in very bad condition and not well maintain.1 km walk of Matheran is equal to 3 km of normal walk due to its poor condition.Their is no other transportation except horse cart.
4) If you are new to the place the horse owner will make fool of you and they will tell what ever rubbish high amount.
5) Do not intend to take old people with you as they won’t be able to make out.
6) Hope so soon toy train are started so that Time/money/effort is saved.
Enjoy the trip
