Garbett Plateau Trek

Garbett Plateau is famous for the stunning view it offers from the topmost point of the trek during sunrise, also called the Garbett Point. From its very location in the southwest of Matheran, one can easily get a 360-degree view of the entire hill station that comprises countless waterfalls, the lush green blanket of the Sahyadaris, and one of the biggest plateaus in the region, making it a priceless view for a true nature lover. The route to the Garbett point is even more interesting, where after a quick sneak-peak into the villages nearby, you walk all alongside a beautiful dam called Dhom. During monsoons we get to cross a few streams, encounter small waterfalls on the way and you get to see the 115ft waterfall called Diksal waterfall, which is one of the attractions on this route. During monsoons, the land becomes all green and is one of the most sort after treks. We will trek from the easy patches to steep climbs and the stronger wind blows as you’re nearing the plateau. This continues while heading towards the Garbett point. Any time between July to March is a good time to trek here.
