Matheran Rambaug Point trek

Trek to Matheran Rambaug point, a less known trail that leads to Rambaug point of Matheran from near Morbe Dam. The trek starts from Burujwadi where we hike from one plateau to the other plateau and later through the forest cover and then on a well-laid rocky path to the Rambaug point. A complete offbeat experience where we come across a stream and tiny waterfalls as well as a beautiful view of Morbe Dam and the surrounding mountains.

Matheran is a vehicle-free zone hill station with many points across the hill. We will be ascending only to Rambaug point and descend back to the same starting point of the trek.

We will be leaving early in the morning from Borivali East, Mumbai by a hired vehicle, either packed breakfast or we will halt for a breakfast which depends on the group strength.
