MatheranMatheran is one of the nearest hill stations of Mumbai. Calm and undisturbed, Matheran makes a favourite getaway for the city dwellers who want to take a break from the city's hustle and bustle. Discovered in 1850, Matheran provides very nice view of the nearby places from the Hart point. A human buggy is the main mode of transport in Matheran. Interestingly one thing that dominates the market is chikki, a confection made of gram flour, jaggery and cashew nut. You can also buy this universally popular sweetmeat in large quantity to carry back home. Matheran has retained the tranquility and peace of a hill station by not allowing any kind of motor vehicle into the town.
