Matheran-walker's paradise

Walk for 8 hours straight, each some chocoloate fudge and chikki and then, catch a train from lonavla to karjat and from karjat down ahead to neral, a few kilometers from those billions of busy bodies in mumbai and you are near the foot of a hill station that cannot be traversed by any buses. Up you go by sumo, who droppes you at the gate of the hill station(giristhan) for a fifty and paying a tax of 25 to enter the town, you get in to find only one mode of transport-Horseback.
The first thing that caught our attention as we walked in was a flying squirrel. Next we found a guy with exquisite fotos of a resort who kept running with us, pleading us to have a look. The price, five hundred per day for a cottage with two rooms, A COLOR T.V.and what more could we want. Walking for another half an hour, we finally reached aa run down place, on the outskirts with a very bad pool table and fully wooden custom made t.t. table. switching on the T.V, we spent half a day with it when the stomachs started rumbling and off we went under the able guidance of Praneet to the local bazaar, where we found this only hatke restaurant with hookahs hanging around. with dirt cheap prices, we ran in to gorge on the fabulous food and then we realized it was already evening. Off we ran to the sunset point, a gory cliff that should things we saw only in animated or highly graphically manioulated movies. As praneet put it, it looked like the planet of apes. Everything below was foggy, and all we could make out was the faint outlines of nearby hills and the sun too disappeared, the orange ball gliding between heavey clouds depriving us of watching its magnificinet descent between hills. Slowly we walked back in the darkness, the forest really errie and we really scared, with no lights anywhere, we somehow reached back the 'resort', and got back to the major activity of pool and t.v.
come day two, we were all charged up to discover the rest of the matheran and andother 5 hours of walk followed in the place where one never tires. A silent night with people already mourning the fact that they had to leave, the coming morning was the one when we had emptied most of our pockets and had to get to bombay and thus, to ahmedabad.

Official guide:

Get down at Karjat, catch a train to Neral and then a sumo to Matheran. Then ask for Green Hills resort, the cheapest one I believe.
Food: Nothing beats Hookahs and Tikkahs
Must try: Masala Thums up, Kokam juice.

Monkey Incident 1:
Sarat chandra is brutally attacked by a monkey with spots, and hand in hand the monkey tries hard to take advantage of him(by stealing his bag).
Monkey Incident 2:
A walnut was kept in the hall and a monkey saw it from a window, ran through the door , jeered at us and ran back with the walnut.

p.s- non-monkey lovers keep off, neutral people can still adjust.

Darkness:
No lights, no house, no development, too much scenic beauty and forgetting the path back are things that usually happen up here. So, it is suggested that you carry along a torch.

Tell me if you go to this place. It will be a memorable experience, with memorable in bold.
