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.

Moturi Sree

Pune

Moturi's 4 days trip to Matheran

My trip itenary was designed by Shreya from back2holidays. She has prepared the itenary according to my requirements and it was very well fitted. The hotels were good and made us comfortable during our stay. The diver given to us was very polite and covered all the places.

Dhruvsolanki

Mumbai

Dhruvsolanki's 4 days trip to Matheran

The trip was amazing. The prices were reasonable too with a good choice of accommodation. The only concern I faced was that the driver was advised to take a shortcut which was not that smooth but saved some kms and some tolls. This would have been fair provided I would have been informed of the same

in the first hand. Other than that everything was excellent.

Somnath's 5 days trip to Matheran

A Memorable Family Trip with BackToHolidays – Special Thanks to Shreya Rajput Recently, my family of seven, including four senior citizens, embarked on a memorable trip to Mumbai and nearby destinations such as Khandala, Lonavala, Shirdi, Mahabaleshwar, and Panchgani. Initially, I faced challenges

in planning the trip due to the diverse needs of my group. Arranging suitable transport, comfortable hotels, and selecting the right locations was overwhelming, especially since I wasn’t familiar with the region. That’s when BackToHolidays and Shreya Rajput stepped in and completely transformed our travel experience. Shreya not only helped me plan the trip from scratch but ensured every minute detail was taken care of. She crafted a personalized itinerary based on our preferences, unlike other travel agencies that often stick to rigid, template-based plans. What truly set her apart was her proactive involvement throughout the trip. Shreya called me daily to check on our experience, ensuring that each day went smoothly and making adjustments whenever necessary. Upon our request, she even arranged a guided tour in Mumbai, further enhancing our experience. Her attention to detail, care, and exceptional customer service made the entire journey stress-free and memorable for everyone, especially our senior family members. Recommendation: The only suggestion I would have for future travelers is to spend more time in Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani during the winter months, as these locations are exceptionally beautiful and deserve extra time to explore. A heartfelt thank you to BackToHolidays and especially Shreya Rajput for making our family trip so special. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a personalized and well-organized travel experience!
