Fariyas Holiday Resort Matheran

Fariyas Holiday Resort Matheran is a pleasantly situated hill resort in the charming and car-free hill station of Matheran, located approximately ninety kilometres from Mumbai in the Sahyadri Hills and reachable by the beloved UNESCO-listed Neral-Matheran toy train journey or by road to Dasturi Naka followed by a horse ride or walk into the village. The resort offers 40 rooms with garden and forest views in standard and family configurations, all with free high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. An outdoor swimming pool, a multi-cuisine restaurant, indoor games, and family-oriented packages complete the amenities. Matheran is entirely free of motor vehicles, creating one of the most peaceful and uniquely family-friendly short getaway environments available from Mumbai. The hill station’s approximately thirty scenic overlook points — including Panorama Point, Echo Point, Porcupine Point, and Charlotte Lake — provide spectacular views over the Western Ghats valleys and plains for families exploring on foot or horseback. The Neral-Matheran Heritage Railway, a narrow-gauge steam railway declared a World Heritage Site, provides a wonderfully scenic forty-five-minute journey through the forest to the hill station. Matheran is particularly popular with Mumbai families seeking a nature-immersed weekend escape from the city, with children who appreciate the horse riding, the peaceful wooded trails, and the extraordinary viewpoints.
