The ‘city of lakes’ Thane is
located in the north-eastern part of Mumbai in the Indian state of
Maharashtra. It is home to around 35 lakes, out of which the most famous
ones include Masunda Lake and Upvan Lake. Surrounded by hills on all sides,
Thane is situated on the Salsette Island and has an elevation of 7 metres
above sea level.
Other than its natural beauty,
the city is also known for its annual grand celebration of festivals like
Ganesh Chaturthi, Gokul Ashtami and Durga Puja that attracts a huge number
of tourists. The best time to be in Thane is undoubtedly during winter
as the temperature drops down to a cool 10°C, making the travelling and
exploring part of the visit pleasantly memorable.
