Best time for Mumbai to Matheran road trip by car
To experience the most out of this hill station, you should plan your road trip to Matheran in winters or summer months. From November to February, the weather is cold, and perfect for bonfires and cosying up. Even from March to June, it remains pleasant, ranging from 22 to 33 degree Celsius. So you can go for a road trip during any of these months.
During monsoon season, because of the heavy rainfalls, it becomes susceptible to landslides and road blocks. Hence I suggest that you avoid road trips in the rainy season.
