What to do and see in Matheran, Maharashtra: The Best Sights & Landmarks

October 6, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Matheran is all about the views. Easily accessible via scenic rail from Mumbai, this refuge in the Sahyadri Hills is blissfully free of motor vehicles and affords nearly three dozen lookouts over the Western Ghats and the region's village-dotted plains. Porcupine Point is anything but prickly—rather, it’s an ideal spot for gorgeous sunsets, especially at the aptly named Panorama Point. Avid hikers hit the densely forested and wildlife-rich route to the ruins of Prabalgad Fort.

Louisa Point

Reviewed By raunakdoshi - Pune, India

Took a horse to go to lousia point. Horseman was very vocal and was talking about place. He was very nice to take beautiful pic of us at the lions head point.. He was patient and allowed us to enjoy the beauty. View from here was breathtaking and we could see all past points we saw that day from this point. Worth visiting

Alexander Point

Reviewed By kishorebraj - Mumbai, India

We met a gentleman, Sujoy, there with a telescope who showed some key sight seeing points, for a nominal charge. He also offered star gazing services which we immediately accpeted as it would have been a personalised service. Had a great time.

One Tree Hill Point

Reviewed By Dhruv_Touristor

All time nice visit. The best place to trek to in Matheran. It is the last point in Matheran and a long 1.6 km walk from main market. The point is secured with grills but one can go down the point to the actual one tree hill. A mountaineer can easily climb the hill patch in months of Nov-Dec. Not advisable to climb the hill in rainy season. Many monsoon trekking groups organise treks to One tree hill from the Karjat side.

Ambarnath Temple

Reviewed By thecreatist - Mumbai, India

I was simply amazed at the level of detailing in the architecture of this temple... a really old Shiva temple. If you enjoy old temples... and the experience of peace this is a must visit. Also perfect for photography.
