Moments to cherish...

A living part of heaven....

Matheran: situated at an altitude of 800m this picturesque hill-station is the nearest to Mumbai, lying around 100km away. Mantled with lush greenery, it is marked by circular hiking track around it. This place can be said to be composed of the three primary colours: red earth below, blue skies overhead and greenery all around. The ban of motor vehicles inside Matheran keeps pollution at bay and preserves the natural beauty of the place.

I visited this place last weekend. It was a fun-filled outing. It was a combination of sunny and overcast weather, the day we reached there. In the evening we were out for some sight-seeing, and after sometime it started raining, heavily. We thought that this would disrupt our excursion, but it actually increased our excitement level. We were all drenched in the torrential downpour.

After getting dowsed in the rain for around half-an-hour, it was time for some more 'cool' experience...Swimming in the cold water for an hour. With rain pouring and wind blustering above the pool. This was the most enjoyable part of the trip. Horse riding is another trademark of hill-stations and the trip is incomplete without it. Horse being my favourite animal, it was nice to see the one I was riding, sneeze in sets of 4-5...like me :)

This place relieves you of the stress faced in a busy metro with hectic schedule and restores back the composure of the mind.
All in all, a truly rich and memorable experience...
