TMI Garbett Point Trek

TMI Trek to Garbett Point
31st July 2022.

*ABOUT GARBETT PLATEAU*
Garbett point is located on the South-west side of Matheran with a grand view of the plateau. The place is cool and pleasant even when the scorching sun raises the temperature in Mumbai. This makes it an easy and accessible night trek near Mumbai. Deep forest runs through the Matheran, which covers approx 8 sq Kms in the Sahyadris. This lovely spot was discovered in 1850 by Hugh Poyntz Malet, the collector of the Thane district._
