Overview

The Dasturi Naka to Garbett Point trail is a short but spectacular hike on the western edge of Matheran. Unlike the classic Bhivpuri–Garbett through trek, this route begins from the top at Matheran and gradually descends through forests to one of the most scenic viewpoints in the Sahyadris. It is ideal for beginners, families, photographers, and anyone looking for a half-day nature walk
