Location
Shivaji's Ladder, as the name suggests with steps like a ladder, is the way down from one tree hill point to the Matheran valley. The path is surrounded by grandeur scenarios of lush green forests and soothing with cool winds. The great Maratha Emperor Chathrapathi Shivaji was using this way as a way for his pleasure trips and hunting options in the Matheran hills.
The Matheran local tribes were using the path for their day to day travels interior to the forests. The Historical path was rediscovered 1850 by Hugh Mallet the then collector of Thane District under British rule. This is a perfect trekking trail for adventurous tourists.
