How To Reach Olympia Race Course
Matheran, Maharashtra, India:
A Nostalgic Landmark: The Olympia Race Course is a unique and historic flat ground within the forested plateau of Matheran, established in 1892-93 by Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji. This expansive ground is a colonial legacy, originally built for horse racing and equestrian activities, reflecting the lifest yle of the British settlers. Today, it no longer hosts formal races but serves as a central hub for horseback riding lessons, pony rentals, and as a large, peaceful clearing for relaxation and recreation. The course's circumference is a flat, earth track, often surrounded by towering trees, providing a cool and refreshing atmosphere. Its proximity to the main market makes it highly accessible and a vital part of the town's character, contrasting the rugged viewpoints with a gentle, open space. The course is a testament to Matheran's unique place as a vehicle-free hill station where horses remain the primary mode of transport.:
