Both Matheran and Lonavala are perfect holiday destinations. But Lonavala is closer to Mumbai and Pune and thus for a 2-3 day trip you can whisk off to Lonavala for a serene escapade. Though Matheran is the perfect eco-friendly hill station with its nature walks, scenic backdrops and unpolluted environment.
However, a thing to note is that you cannot drive all the way to the Matheran hills’ top as you have to park your vehicle at a parking point and walk all the way from there.
