Matheran

 

The car journey towards Matheran starts at 6:25 am. It's Saturday morning, the start to an amazing weekend. With soulful music in the background, empty roads and beautiful street lights our journey begins towards the hill station. We come across steep valleys that almost take our breath away. We get lucky to spot the Toy train that runs from Neral to Matheran. The climb to the top to reach Dasturi Naka was the most difficult one with our car trying to reach up an almost vertical slope. Dasturi Naka is a point where all cars and motor vehicles have to be parked. No cars or bikes are allowed in Matheran, it's one of the most eco-friendly places in India, which means no pollution whatsoever.

 
           From here you can take a toy train or simply walk.

If you get tired or don't feel like walking you can take a horse ride.

Say Hi to Horsie ! :)

 

This monkey really wanted to come inside the room. That's our hotel AC by the way.

Spotted a Wild Duck

 

 

We prefered walking and by the time i reached home my shoes were fully red, all thanks to the red soil.


There are many points to visit in this place like Alexander Pt., One Tree Hill Pt, Lords Pt, Charlotte Lake, Echo Pt., Porcupine Pt, Panorama Point and  Madhavji Garden

 I visited this hill station in November 2015. But i would suggest you to visit during the monsoons. Months like October and November are really hot to explore this place.

Best time to visit : December-February & June-September
Distance from Mumbai : 82 km by Road

How to Conquer the Flash Sales

Nowadays many mobile brands are selling their cellphone via flash sales. Getting mobile phones from such sales is extremely difficult since there are more than 25,000 other users also trying to buy them at the same time.

New to the Flash Sale Concept?
Flash Sales are nothing but sales though e-commerce websites such as Amazon and Flipkart. These companies tie up with moblie brands and sell those products on a specific date and a specific time slot. For example Amazon sells some mobiles at 2pm sharp on their website. You have to click the 'Add to Cart' button at 2pm exactly or else the product goes out of stock.

Please Note: You need to register for the Flash Sale first and then only you can be eligible for it. You will
                     receive conformation for the same through email.
