151 Properties in Matheran
Matheran, a quaint hill station located in the Raigad district of Maharashtra, India, is renowned for its lush greenery, serene environment, and colonial charm. Perched at an elevation of 800 meters above sea level, Matheran is unique for being Asia's only automobile-free hill station, preserving its pristine environment and offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city life. The name 'Matheran' translates to 'forest on the forehead', aptly describing its dense forest cover and elevated position.
Discovered by Hugh Poyntz Malet, the then district collector of Thane, in 1850, Matheran quickly became a favored retreat for the British during the colonial era. The town is dotted with colonial-era architecture, including charming bungalows and the iconic Matheran Light Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage railway that connects the hill station to Neral. This railway, operational since 1907, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a scenic journey through the Western Ghats.
Matheran is famous for its 38 designated viewpoints, each offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding valleys and peaks. Popular spots include Panorama Point, which provides a 360-degree view of the Western Ghats, and Echo Point, known for its natural echo phenomenon. The town's pleasant climate, coupled with its rich biodiversity, makes it a haven for nature lovers and trekkers.
The local culture is a blend of Maharashtrian traditions and colonial influences, with festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi celebrated with great fervor. The local cuisine, predominantly Maharashtrian, features delicacies such as vada pav, misal pav, and bhakri. Matheran's markets are vibrant, offering a range of local handicrafts, leather goods, and chikki, a traditional Indian sweet.
Matheran's commitment to sustainability and eco-tourism is evident in its ban on motor vehicles, encouraging visitors to explore the town on foot or horseback. This not only reduces pollution but also enhances the overall experience of being amidst nature. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a glimpse into colonial history, Matheran offers a unique and refreshing getaway.
