Matheran is the hill station without cars. The house takes you as far as any car may go — Dasturi Naka, below the town — and from there it is a walk, a horse, a hand-pulled rickshaw or the toy train, as you prefer.
Motor vehicles stop at Dasturi Naka. Your sarathi sees your cases to a licensed porter and you into the town, and returns to the car.
October to May is best; in the monsoon the red earth paths turn to mud and the toy train may not run.
For a day, the car waits at Dasturi. For a stay, it returns on the day you name and meets you at the same place.
