Matheran Railway Station is the upper terminus of the Matheran Hill Railway (MHR). It is the fifth and last station of the narrow gauge line.
The station is at an elevation of approximately 2,625 feet (800 m) in the Western Ghats.[4] As no automobiles are allowed in Matheran it provides the sole mechanised means of transport, the alternative being walking or horseback from the previous station Aman Lodge,[5] some 3 km distant.,[6] with trains to Neral suspended.[7]
