A heaven near Mumbai

My recent trip to Matheran made me realise that natural beauty in India is grossly underestimated (of course only by Indians). The boulevard I walked through is still vivid in my memory. Charlotte Lake was lush green and made one wonder whether this is what Heaven looks like.
My legs did ache for the rest of the day but it was worth climbing up the high mountain and appreciating God's creation. It was a nice break from the daily city rush. It helped me soothe calm down and soothe my restless nerves. Any place lush with trees will always make you feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Matheran, Lonavala & Khandala are just the places to go for a forest walk and reinforce your faith in God and his picturesque creation.
I am sure there are many other unexplored locations near Mumbai and in Maharashtra and I would love to go there one day. This trip to Matheran was fulfilling especially because of the company of friends and loved ones. My I-day went really well.
