I like to travel very much, so If I get some and have some free time then me and my friends plan to visit any Natural tourist destination. You can get more joy visiting natural tourist places than any other tourist places. Our summer holidays are just started. And we have a long plan for holidays. We have decided to visit more than 3 or 4 places like Mahabaleshwar, Lavasa city near Pune, Pratapgad fort, Lonavala, Khandala and some other. We are very excited for this tour. As this was going to be a long, amazing and thrilling trip for us. But because of some reason our this plan was cancelled. Some members are not ready anfd someone's parents are not giving permission to them. So we have to cancel the trip. But the day before we are supposed to leave from home, we four people decided to visit some nearby places. So we decided to visit the Heaven on Earth-Matheran. We are very excited to visit Matheran. So firstly we collected all required information about the spot. Firstly we found the various ways to reach there. There are several options like hiring a car, by bus or by train. So we decided to go there using train, as it is most safe and reliable way of travelling in India. We fixed to meet at 6am at the Nashik Road Railway station. So as per plan all members are present on railway station at sharp time. We have to go to firat Kalyan station and then take a local fron there to Neral Railway station. So we take a Rajyarani Express from Nashikroad to reach Kalyan. And then take a local for Karjat to reach Neral. The tickets fair is so reasonable. It only takes Rs.75 to reach Kalyan and Rs.15 to reach Neral. So this trip is so cheap. After reaching Neral, we have to take 20 km run to reach Matheran. Ther are several options like hire a taxi or reach by Toy Train. When we reach there, we see a very long queue. We asked some people about the queue, they told us that the queue is for getting tickets of Toy Train. So after knowing this, we came to know that if we wait for toy train then it will take more than 3-4 hours to get ticket of Toy train. So we decided to take taxi which costs Rs.75 per person. And the taxiwala said us to book the room for night stay. We paid Rs.800 for a room. So by taxi we reach the top of mountain, where the Metheran is situated. The views on the way are stunning and amazing. We are getting surprised after seeing every single scenery. Finally we reach the Matheran with very excited and fresh mind. When we reach there, we see there are number of horses available for reaching the main market of Matheran. We decided to go there by walking. It takes 45 minutes to reach the main market to us and as our room is also located in main market we have to first go there. We finally reach our room. The scenes from our room is just stunning. Our room is just in front of foggy mountains. So we have a great chance to capture some awesome pictures. We relax for some time in room as we are somewhat tired of journey. And when we are decided to go out, the rain us falling heavily. But we didn't stop for rain to slow to slow down. We decided to keep our mobiles and cameras in the room and go out. The rain is falling very heavily, so it was shivering atmosphere. And we are enjoying it. We don't know anything about the spots but we still start exploring the Matheran. There are number of spots in Matheran like lake view, monkey point, reverse fall point, echo point and many others. We start following other peoples, because we have no idea about the ways for points. After walking some distance we reach lake view point. It was amazing place, the atmosphere is just amazing. There is one ancient Temple. We first visit the temple and then start exploring the spot. There is a ropeway, we wish we can experience it but it costs about Rs.400 each. So we decided to don't go there and visit other places. Then we visit reverse fall point. This is the most stunning point in Matheran. The water is coming up from the fall, so it get it's name as Reverse fall point. The raing is continuously falling and we are totally get wet. The views are stunning there but as we didn't bring any mobile or camera we are not able to capture any picture. We are feeling so sad about this. But enjoying the moment is way better than capturing the moment. After walking for more than 3-4 hours we get tired and decided to go to the room. When we reach our room we are very hungry, so we first eat some stuff that we brought from home. And after resting for some time we again decided to go out. This time the rain is stopped, so we want to make most the chance to capture some amazing pictures of outside atmosphere. We take lots of pictures and the pictures was just amazing. We take a long walk to explore some places. The sun is going to set in some time, so we have to walk fast. When we see some gardens and capture some pictures we again move towards our room. But there is no street lights so it was a thrilling experience. When we reach room, we are pretty impressed with the place and decided to explore other spots of Matheran. So we take dinner and go to sleep. The day was one of the best day of my life and I experienced some of the most experiences of my life. Next day, because of some problems we have to leave the Matheran and go home. We packed our bags and leave the room. We take a taxi from Matheran to Neral Railway station. And then take a local from Neral to Kalyan. And finally take a train from Kalyan to Nashik Road and reach home. This experience was unforgettable for me and one the most awesome day of my life. We enjoyed a lot there and capture lots of pictures there. It only costs us around 1000 rupees each for whole journey. So this is one of the most cheap and amazing place to visit. And I suggest everyone to visit this place once in a lifetime. As the place is near Mumbai, many Mumbaikars visit there on weekends and get stress free from there hectic schedule. So visit the place once and enjoy the experience of a lifetime. You will surely love this place and visit it again and again. THANK YOU
