Hotel Usha Ascot (Matheran, India)

Mathran : On The Western Ghats! Asia’s only pedestrian hill retreat, Matheran, is a declared ecologically sensitive zone, is perched atop the Sahyadri range. Explored by Hugh Poyntz Malet, the British Collector of Thane District in 1850, this lush green solitary woodland became a popular weekend getaway from the heat of Mumbai. Matheran, meaning ‘mother forest on head’ retains its tranquility as all forms of motor vehicles are prohibited within the town. Attractions and POIs Covered with dense woods interspersed with stately bungalows built by the British, the Parsis and the Bohras, the place evokes an old-world charm. The beautiful pathways, the cool air and the dramatic views from the vantage points of scenic valleys, and the occasional mist are its main attractions. In the rains the hills are topped by rain clouds - the incessant downpour, the swirling mist and the gurgling waterfalls look majestic. As Matheran, So Usha !
