Nostalgic charm of the old dilapidated houses & bungalows of Matheran.
Belonging to the English, Parsees and Bohras from the late 19th/early 20th century, most of these old houses are now in stages of decline and neglect not withstanding their heritage value!

Forlorn they stand today,but they were hubs of opulence in the era gone by. Peering at the bungalows you can picture scenes of evening parties, with their the laughter and the music,the clinking of the glasses and cutlery, and bustling about of the liveried servants and butlers !
Here is a beautiful villa near Monkey Point, proudly built by a rich shipbuilder’s family. Nobody knows who it belongs to now.
You prowl around the grounds & can smell the food the caretakers are cooking somewhere in the backside of the building. But you leave depressed !
