I know its been long since I wrote last but believe me it is worth the wait.
Last time I wrote about my hometown in Himalayas. This time I got an opportunity to visit a small hill station in Maharashtra where one can go either on foot, a small toy train or on a horse.
Any guesses?
No?
Okay then have a look at this one and tell me..:)
Well, the answer is Matheran and I cannot deny that I am completely in love with this beautiful place.
You can call it a small tourist village where no vehicles are allowed and there are a few spots worth exploring.
Attractions:The first point that I explored was a beautiful lake with green water and a yellow colored flower bed close by and believe me for a moment it felt like I was in the mini version of valley of flowers. If you too guys have loved the cowboy kind a movies, then it gave me a very similar feel with tourists wandering on horses and chilling out alongside the lake.
Another vintage point that I loved was the echo point. Well, it wasn't the echo coming back that made me feel wow, but gorge crossing in the valley of 450 feets depth that stirred me for long enough. It was the most thrilling experience of my life and though I am not the one who is into extreme adventure sports, I was simply swayed with this one.
I even tried horse riding and a single horse was available for ride for just 250 bucks. The horses are well trained and I loved the feel that I was controlling the horse and riding my warhorse. (However, its possible that the Horse may have got the vibes that I was a novice rider and therefore might have shown sympathy by walking straight) but still whatever, I loved the way I controlled my Horse:)
Adventure sports:Gorge crossing
Accessibility:On foot or horse(Horses readily available at 250 bucks). A small and cute toy train is also available.
The area has 460 horses which are used on a daily basis to take travelers and their belongings to and fro.
Accommodation: The place has numerous hotels, lodgings and one Gujrat Bhawan which offers cheap yet comfortable place to stay.
Food:I would say that I found very good quality food in Matheran. In most of the places, it was hygienic, less spicy yet tasty.
My trip to Matheran was the most enriching and wow kind of experience after a long time.
ThumbsUp to the clean and pristine air of Matheran!
