Matheran is a Hill Station and a 
municipal council in the Raigad district 
in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is 
a hill station in Karjat Tahsil and is also 
the smallest hill station in India. It is 
located on the Western Ghats range at 
an elevation of around 800 m (2,625 
feet) above sea level. It is located 
around 90 km from Mumbai, and 120 
km from Pune. Matheran's proximity to 
many metropolitan cities makes it a 
popular weekend getaway for urban 
residents. Matheran, which means 
"forest on the forehead" (of the 
mountains) is an eco-sensitive region, 
declared by the Ministry of 
Environment and Forest, Government 
of India. It is Asia's only automobile-
free hill station.
