Entry to Matheran after 8 kms.
You may carry a extra raincoat or jacket , but nothing would have stopped you from getting 'Wet to the Core' on 3rd july when Selecticas expedition took to conquer Matheran.How heavily was it raining? Unless you were laminated, You had to get wet.
After some time you realise you are constantly failing in the effort to keep yourself dry and it would not have been different even if you had 10 pairs of change. You submit yourself to the rains and from this moment you will really enjoy Matheran.
Climbing the hill station from Neral station by foot in pouring rains would have seemed really scary but the scenic forests and mindblowing valleys with the myriad waterfalls at every small hill made it a trekkers delight.
I would have got it on my handycam, but it rained so heavily;I could'nt get my handycam out.Even If I had the shot taken 'The Bliss' at Matheran cannot be expressed or shown , you have to see it for yourself.

At the end of it we were told we trekked atleast 20 kms in challenging circumstances.
How to judge whether your trek lead is experienced,
Ask him ," How much more ?"
If he says "Oh, we are almost there"...He is your man!
Vehicles aern't allowed inside Matheran ;so you enter 0% pollution hill station.
If you feel that you live in a No-Pollution area , you need to pay this place a visit.
You will revise your defintions.
P.s.- If you r trekking on Sunday , You mite want to inform your manager that you mite not come on Monday.Maybe Tuesday too.
