Charlotte Lake, Maharashtra, India
4.0 (526 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Raigad District Bodies of Water
Weekday Trip to Matheran in December 2020
Evening is the best time to visit here. Sunset can be viewed here with golden rays of the Sun falling on you as Sun is about to set. Awesome for photography. One has to dedicate atleast 1 hour here to enjoy to the fullest. Weekend is full rush. Try going on weekday.

Approach Road in Shambles
One of the top spots on the itinerary. Can be approached on foot, or horse back. About one third of the road is in very poor shape with stones and dust and the last few meters are very very bad with big stones and is downhill. Horses also stop short of the last few meters which has to be approached on foot. Walking time from the market is approximately 20-30 minutes and one needs to spend around 30-45 minutes at the lake. The lake is appreciated from the bridge and is a good photography point. One has to be careful about the monkeys here too. There are games stalls and places to eat. There are a lot of benches on the bridge to sit. There is a board which directs you to a waterfall which can be seen only during the monsoon season. Lord's point is a few minutes walk from here and there is a very nice view from the point. Carry your own binoculars. If not then one can enjoy the far away sites through telescopes available there by paying Rs 100 per person.

Good picnic spot
The Charlotte Lake is the reservoir for Matheran. It is nicely filled in the months post monsoon. Unfortunately, people visiting this place pollute the lake by throwing garbage. There are a few vendors around the lake selling tea, coffee, maggi noodles, corn, cold drinks, etc. This is a nice place to visit when in Matheran. A half hour leisure walk from the market place. It is picturesque, though there isn't much to do around.
