As Matheran, So Usha
In Matheran, one of India’s few automobile-free hill stations, holidays unfold differently. Here, journeys follow forest pathways instead of roads, and days are shaped by mountain air, red-earth trails, and sweeping viewpoints across the Sahyadris.
On the grounds where the Red House Bungalow once stood as an early summer retreat, Usha Ascot gradually took shape — growing alongside Matheran’s own journey as a beloved hill-station getaway. The property has since matured into a full resort, yet it still carries the relaxed spirit that first drew travellers to these hills.
For more than three decades, Usha Ascot has welcomed over half a million guests — a familiar destination for family holidays and group getaways, with many returning season after season. Days lead guests through Matheran’s shaded trails and viewpoints; evenings bring everyone together again over comforting vegetarian meals, easy conversation, and the warmth of the resort. It’s the simple rhythm of a hill-station holiday — and what keeps guests coming back.
