Trekking from Karjat to Matheran

The thought of trekking through the dusty lanes of Karjat to Matheran may sound fascinating to the senses and may bound to become the first thought about which the travelers have always imagined about. Karjat region is nestled on the South-East of Mumbai, on the banks of Ulhas River, in Raigad district, Western India. With eight to ten different routes emanating, the trekking from Karjat to Matheran could be an ultimate experience.

Following the trail of trek records, the dense forest cover, teeming bird life, long walks, flora and fauna can pull the travelers to mellow out in the cusp of pristine nature. Besides this, the aspiring travelers who want to make an entourage from Kajrat-Ambedwadi Village-Matheran can most probably take a route from Karjat Chowk Road. While traversing through the lush green thickets of the region, you would actually feel yourself as the luckiest ones to witness the rich class of flora and fauna blossoming in front of the eyes. While at the same time, a 2KM stroll from the Vaverle Village along a tarred road, you will reach to Bhorgaon Village. If you rather can’t walk on the broken road, then you have a choice to follow the trail by an auto rickshaw. But if you want to explore the burgeoning wilderness of this hinter land, then of course you have an option to take a route from a wide stream to get to Bhorgaon. After crossing the every gentle spur, you will reach to a turning point of North West from you can visit to Ambewadi Village. The swaying trees, funnel shaped hills, and the simplicity infused in the dynamic vistas would compel the audacious enthusiasts to try something adventurous. If the travelers have the provision of flexible tents, then they can of course think of planning a camping option here exclusively. To unwind the tired senses, and satiate the parched throats, the travelers have an option to travel to One Tree Hill from where they can purchase a cold drink in Matheran. Besides this, the jungles in the region have a bountiful of 350 species of scorpions which at times with sudden provocation can turn fatal. So the adventure sneakers are advised that they should take the personal succor of a guide, to venture out in those horribly wild spaces.

Finally after reaching Matheran, there is trek which heads into a stretch of thick forest, which will greet you with the welcome respite of sun. The Shivaji Steps will be visible to you; believed to be a legendry route from where this great king rode 500 m to the top up a stream bed that remains dry except the monsoons. The most enjoyable but long route is from Mumbai, from where the travelers can board a Karjat bound local train from Mumbai and get down at Vangani Station. From there, they can hike to Vaghachi Wadi, cross the Nakhind-Cahnderi College and walk to Panvel Lake. From that lake there are two routes to Matheran. The first via Porcupine Point, also called Milk Trail. The other route is less uses and climbs a spur running due east. This first brings the travelers up to Hashachi Patti, a tribal hamlet, and then into Matheran via Malang Point. It is also possible that travelers can start a 4-5 days trek from Lonavala which links to Rajmachi Bhairi Caves, Dhak Fort, Karjat and finally Matheran. Similarly, the travelers with the end of the entire ordeal can start to return at the point from where they started. With the distance looming up to 10-11 KMS, the vacationers would approximately take 4-5 hours to reach back to Matheran-Bhorgaon-Karjat.
