Pune to Matheran Cab Service

Escape to Matheran, Asia's vehicle-free hill station, with a cab to the Dasturi point.

About this route

Matheran is a small, peaceful hill station where motor vehicles are not allowed beyond the entry point — the town is explored on foot, on horseback or by hand-pulled rickshaw. Red-earth paths, forest trails and dozens of viewpoints make it a refreshing break from the city.

Our cab takes you from Pune to the Dasturi car park near Matheran and picks you up at the end of your stay.

Journey overview

From Dasturi you can walk, ride a horse or take a rickshaw into town. The Neral–Matheran toy train is a heritage experience when it is running. Popular viewpoints include Panorama Point, Louisa Point, Echo Point and Charlotte Lake.
