Some details about Matheran and
Ladder route:
Matheran is situated in the Matheran 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 (mathe means head and
raan means forest). The dense forest cover, teeming bird life, long walks and
flora and fauna make this an all-time favorite. The best part is that it’s pollution-free
as no vehicles are allowed in the hill station.
While trekking up to Matheran hills
from chowk, it’s a long flat walk and then steep ascend which in turn also have
some risky rock patches. There are three ladders fixed on those patches. First
ladder is made of iron while other two ladders are of wood and bamboo, thus
making it very risky affair especially in Monsoon.
According to local legend, Shivaji
rode up this route on horseback. Locals also call this route as Shivaji Ladder
route.
The itinerary for the Trek is as
given below:
