Charlotte Lake

Charlotte Lake is Matheran's primary reservoir and most peaceful natural sightseeing destination — a quiet forest-edged lake offering birdwatching, morning walks, and views of surrounding Sahyadri hills. A serene contrast to Matheran's busier viewpoints, the lake attracts egrets, kingfishers, and various forest birds throughout the year. Free to walk around; a top Matheran nature and photography destination. Most peaceful on weekday mornings. Located 2 km from the market area through a forested trail.
