Lovely hike with amazing views. Totally loved the experience. An amazing trail with couple of steep patches in between.
Visit during the monsoons. The experience is mind blowing. Simply superb. Loved it.
Definitely worth a visit.
One of the easiest Trek with small jungle trails, mostly recommended to visit on weekdays but you visit on weekends as well. But on weekdays shops/food stalls remain closed 30-40 min jungle hike (easy level) will guide you to the Garbett Plateau from the main road of matheran hill. To reach here get 100Rs per person cab from Nerul station and while returning take their contact number for the return journey as well.
Garbett plateau is one of the best trekking places near Mumbai. You can do this trek in a day. Catch the first karjat train from cst and get down at bhivpuri road station. You can start trekking from the station itself It takes around 4-5hr to reach the top.
There are two ways to return one from the same path as we ascend and another is from the matheran route. We chose matheran as we can It's just 1hr walk from top. From matheran share cabs available for neral stations.
Catch the CSMT train and back to Mumbai.
Highly recommend place in Matheran to visit if you're tired of crowds. This place has literally zero crowd and one of the best points in Matheran, but 45 min to 1 hour walk is there to reach here. Ask locals how to get here.
Awesome place for trekking. We faced some difficulties while trek due to some slippery area in rainy season.
Memorable trip
Good trek to enjoy the views and climb. We started the ascent from bhivpuri waterfall. The trek took us through villages and fields on the top of mountains with scenic views of dhom lake in between. There were some very narrow trails and steep climb at many places. It took us 4 hours to reach at the top as we took it easy. The plateau is of around 1 sq. km. area and you can easily camp there. As soon as we reached at the top we were greeted by fog followed by heavy rain. We were barely able to see the views. After having quick snacks we started the descent from different route that took us directly to Neral Matheran road through jungles of Matheran. This was very easy walk with very less slopes. We were able to hail taxi after 2 hours of walk and reached Neral station. Amazing experience.
Great night trek. Short and sweet. Worth the wait at the top for sunrise. There is a small village on the way at the base where you can get maggi and has toilets (for women especially). Definite must go
Trek to garbett is quite moderately easy. You can also do a range trek covering garbett+Peb fort.
Great place for trekking in monsoon! It's a perfect spot for beginners. You can reach the top in about 1 hour, depending on your trekking speed. Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with an awesome panoramic view, providing a relaxing and peaceful exp
