Matheran is situated in the range of sahyadris at a height of 2516 feet with more than eight to ten different routes, Matheran (2516 feet) is the ultimate destination for the trekker, naturalist and outdoor enthusiast.
It is literally a forest on top of the hill (matheran means Mathe (head) and raan means forest). The dense forest covers, teeming bird life, long walks, flora and fauna which makes this an all-time favorite. The best part is that it is pollution-free as no vehicles are allowed on the hill station.
While trekking up to Matheran hill from chowk village, it is a long flat walk and then steep ascend which in turn also have some risky rock patches. But the best thing is that there are three ladders fixed on those patches. First two ladders are made up of iron while other one is of wood and bamboo. According to locals, Shivaji Maharaj rode up this route on horseback. Locals also call this route as Shivaji Ladder route.
