discovery dates back to 1850, when <strong>Hugh Poyntz Malet<\/strong>, then Collector of Thane, came across this scenic plateau during a hunting trip. Soon after, British officials recognized its potential as a hill station retreat and began developing it with bungalows, walking paths, and viewpoints. By the late 19th century, Matheran had become a favorite summer escape for colonial officers.<\/p>\n<p>To improve accessibility, Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy, a wealthy philanthropist, financed the construction of a narrow-gauge railway line from Neral to Matheran. Completed in 1907, the railway became a lifeline for the hill station. The toy train, officially known as the Matheran Hill Railway, was recognized as a heritage railway by UNESCO for its historic and cultural significance.<\/p>\n<p>The train still runs on the original alignment, climbing from the plains at Neral (39 m) to Matheran (803 m). With 21 km of track, over 200 sharp curves, and multiple stations such as Jummapatti, Water Pipe, and Aman Lodge, the ride remains one of India\u2019s most charming hill journeys.<\/p>\n<p>Even today, the toy train is not just a mode of transport but an integral part of Matheran\u2019s identity. Travelers from Mumbai and Pune plan their visits specifically to experience this slow, scenic, and nostalgic journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make Your Holiday Memorable in:\u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/scenic-train-rides-in-india\/\">Most Scenic Train Journeys in India to Experience<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reach_Matheran_from_Mumbai\"><\/span>How to Reach Matheran from Mumbai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>By Local Train (Mumbai to Neral)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most budget-friendly option is the suburban train.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Board a <strong>Karjat or Khopoli bound train<\/strong> on the Central line from CST, Dadar, Thane, or Kalyan.<\/li>\n<li>Alight at <strong>Neral Junction<\/strong>.
