In the lap of nature: Edward Point, Matheran

  • 11 years ago
Matheran has 38 points from where one can get a glimpse of nature's beauty. Getting to viewpoints in Matheran is quiet easy due to the presence of sign boards and map. One of them is the scenic Edward's point, which is located on the western side of Matheran. It is on the road from Lake Charlotte to Louisa Point.

Matheran is a Hill Station and a municipal council in the Raigad district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is a hill station in Karjat Tahsil and is also the smallest hill station in India. It is located on the Western Ghats range at an elevation of around 800 m (2,625 feet) above sea level. It is located around 90 km from Mumbai, and 120 km from Pune. Matheran's proximity to many metropolitan cities makes it a popular weekend getaway for urban residents. Matheran, which means "forest on the forehead" (of the mountains) is an eco-sensitive region, declared by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India. It is Asia's only automobile-free hill station.

Note the prominent Deccan Traps of the Western Ghats, grown over with monsoon grasses.
