Matheran: At 803 meters (2,636 ft) above sea level,
Matheran is the most splendid hill-station in Maharashtra. Panoramic views
of the surrounding mountains and plains below, makes it one of the
favorite weekend getaways for the locals of Mumbai and Pune. Matheran
grew more accessible and popular under the patronage of Lord Elphinstone,
the Governor of Bombay. |
