How To Reach Matheran

Situated in the lap of the beautiful Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats, Matheran is an inviting little hill station 100 kilometres from bustling Mumbai. Known as the “overhead forest,” Matheran proudly holds the title of the smallest hill station in India. Yet, it attracts many visitors seeking a refreshing escape surrounded by stunning views and peaceful surroundings. The nearest railway station is Neral, conveniently located on the Mumbai-Pune line, merely 21 km from Matheran. From Neral, you can hop on the charming Matheran Hill railway, one of India's delightful six mountain railways. If you're flying in, Pune has the nearest airport, where you’ll find taxis ready to take you on your journey. Alternatively, you can catch a cab or bus from nearby towns and get close to Matheran (just 3 km away) before embarking on a delightful horse ride, leisurely walk, or even a man-pulled rickshaw to reach the hill station. Remember, Matheran is a pollution-free zone, so we enjoy these eco-friendly transportation options!

    By Air

    Matheran does not have an airport. But the nearest airport to Matheran is Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, which is approximately 44 kilometres away. Mumbai International Airport is connected to all the major cities across the country. Once reached, one can book a cab or take a bus to Matheran. Depending on the traffic, it will take hardly 2 hours to reach Matheran.

    By Road

    The Mumbai-Pune Highway beautifully connects Matheran with the bustling cities of Mumbai, Pune, and Panvel. You’ll find regular state transport buses from these cities going to Neral, your gateway to Matheran. Just a heads up, though: buses can only take you to Neral! From there, you have some charming options for your onward journey, whether it's the delightful toy trains or a scenic car drive to Dasturi Naka.

    By Train

    Matheran features a charming railway station, conveniently linked to Neral Junction by a delightful toy train and to Karjat Junction by a local train. You'll find it much easier to travel from Neral, just 8 km away, rather than from Karjat, which is 19 km distant. The beautiful journey will surely take your breath away.

      First hotel was nice and spacious but second hotel rooms were too small and compact. First driver and Cab was good however driver & Cab both changed during trip. Second Cab was very old vehicle and not spacious as compared to first assigned vehicle. Support and service was also not good when compare

      Ugamesh's 4 days trip to Matheran

      I recently booked my Gokarna tour package with Travel On Ease, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we started our journey, everything was perfectly planned and hassle-free. The team ensured comfortable travel arrangements, clean accommodations, and a smooth itinerary
      that covered all the top attractions in Gokarna, including Om Beach, Kudle Beach, and the scenic Mirjan Fort. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the road trip even more enjoyable. What stood out the most was the team’s professionalism and attention to detail, they handled every request promptly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of Gokarna. If you’re looking for a well-organized and memorable Gokarna travel experience, I highly recommend Travel On Ease for their excellent service and great value.

      Jabir's 3 days trip to Matheran

      I recently had the most wonderful holiday in Goa with Travel On Ease, and I cannot thank Kewal and Poonam enough for making the trip so memorable. From the very beginning, the planning was smooth and hassle-free. They patiently listened to my requirements, understood exactly what kind of holiday exp
      erience I was looking for, and tailored the package accordingly. Everything was well-organized, right from the hotel bookings to local transfers and curated sightseeing. The choice of accommodation was excellent—comfortable, clean, and close to the beach, which made the whole experience even better. What impressed me most was the personal attention and care throughout the trip. Kewal kept checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly, while Poonam made sure that even the smallest details, like food preferences and activity timings, were taken care of. The trip had the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Whether it was exploring Goa’s vibrant culture, enjoying the nightlife, or relaxing by the sea, every moment was well-planned and thoroughly enjoyable. I truly felt stress-free, which is exactly what you want on a holiday. Travel On Ease made me feel like more than just a customer—they treated me like family. Their professionalism, friendly approach, and dedication to customer satisfaction really stand out. I would highly recommend Travel On Ease to anyone looking to book a holiday. Special thanks again to Kewal and Poonam for going above and beyond to make my Goa trip super awesome. I’m already looking forward to planning my next vacation with them!
