    This was the first trek I ever went to and it was indeed magnificent experience. Trek is quite easy. It takes about one hour to reach on the top of the mountain. On the way, you will come across a waterfall!! It is located around 5-6km from Thane railway station. Great spot to refresh your soul during Monsoon.

    Mama Bhanja is a hill located in Thane West at Lokmanya Nagar. It is a prominent mountain and can be seen from anywhere. There are two hills, one is Mama Hill and the other is Bhanja Hill. Mama Hill is at the top whereas Bhanja Hill is a little lower than Mama Hill. Mama Hill is full of hard rocks At the top, there is a shed of Mama Dargah. It will take an hour of a climb for a fit average man. Pretty wide steps are made all the way to the top through the forest. During rains, there are many small streams across the steps. After climbing and reaching the top you will come across a junction from where if you turn left you will reach Bhanja Hill and turning right will take you to Mama Hill. This is Mama Hill as you can see in the photo. There is a shed at the top. That is the point which we see from the city anywhere. Whole Thane city and Mumbai can be seen in clear weather as shown above. Mama Bhanja Hills, Thane West offers a majestic view of the National Park as well as Thane City History says the Mama Bhanja Hills are very old dating 400 years back.

    Mama Bhanja Dargah is a religious place of worship on the top of Mama Bhanja Mountain. Though this is a religious place of worship, this is also well known as a trekking location amongst all the trekkers and mountain climbing enthusiasts. When we visited there was a lot of fog and it was a very beautiful experience. Usually when we visit this dargah, there is a huge endless and one of its kind view of the Thane city mainly the Lokmanyanagar, Wagle Estate area, Dnyaneshwar Nagar area and also some part of the pokhran road regions. This is a part of nature and when it's fog and rains it is no less than heaven.

    Very beautiful and calm place located near Thane, this is the very opposite site of Sanjay Gandhi national park. The view here is amazing might be tough for first timers, best time to visit is during rainy season, there are 2 ways to go here, one is via stairs and one is all the way from the forest....

    Beautiful place for trekking in Thane. Best time to visit is Monsoon. If you want to visit Dargah please don't wear half downs and they don't allow girls for visit (ps you can if you are wearing kurti and scarf). Both Mama and Bhanja Dargah and view around it is beautiful. Must visit.

    The Highest Peak Of Thane City⚡and the view from the top is worth. The best time to visit here is in between July to August so that you enjoy the Waterfall over there.

  • 5/5 Abdul B. 4 years ago on Google
    Around 400 yrs back two Long and Tall Handsome Iraqi men came to a Mahagiri Masjid in THANE..and informed the people there that On the Mountains there are Two Dead Bodies..and they requested the people in the Masjid to come with them and bury the Dead Bodies.. Some people went with them to the mountains and after climbing the mountains they guided the men to a even taller Tekri at one corner of the mountain...when the people reached there they saw a Dead body which was wrapped in a Fresh White Cloth (Kafan) and very nice perfume smell was coming from the dead body. They people wanted to know if the Dead is a Male or Female hence they removed the Kafan to see the Face and they were shocked to see that it was the DEAD body of the person who had Guided them all the way up...when they turned to see the person who had come to the masjid..he was not there....the people understood that he was a WALI ALLAH who had come to give them the message to bury his body. Now the Mountain is full of Rocks and the people dint had any Tool to dug the Grave..hence a voice came from GAIB that Dig with Try digging with ur Hands.. Hence the people started to DIg with there hands and thy were shocked to notice that with bare hads they were able to Dug the ROCKS as thy had bcome so soft... hence people digged the grave and burried the dead body of the first person whom thy were told was MAMU... then thy went to the other side of the Mountain the Buried the other Dead body who was known as Bhanje. Mazaar of Mamu bhanje is often frequented by Wild Animals like Leapord and Tigers..but after Asar when it gets a little cold... The Jungles are full ow Wild Snakes..but till date there is no Incident of any one being bitten by a snake.. It is not advisable to stay at the top after ASAR as it is the time of WILD ANIMALS coming out..hence one should start there climb early in the morning around 8-9 and come down by 4-4.30

  • 4/5 Somil G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a very good for all the beginners in trekking, it will give you the glimpses of the trekking life. And the view from top is such pleasing to eyes and I am sure it will be even more beautiful during monsoon. But the starting part is filled with garbages, which can be cleaned and taken care off very well by authorities. All in all a good place to visit with beautiful view at the top and burn some calories while climbing off!

    Very good place for trekking in monsoon and winter. But start very early to avoid heat. Only disadvantage is no washroom for ladies. Beautiful view of Thane city and Sanjay Gandhi national parks with two lakes.

    Extremely peaceful atmosphere and wonderfully transparent view can be experienced... The view of the whole city is obtained from the top of the mountain and the sound of very cold air is found.

    Its point that not very popular but it is beautiful and nearest to thane to experience the nature. From here you get the entire view. Pawai, vihar lake, tulsi lake, airoli, kalwa, mumbra hill, Ghodbunder Road, yeoor, upvan lake, mira road all this you can see with your eyes and it looks so beautiful. Sunrise from here is just looks amazing.

  • 5/5 Shobi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Mama Bhanja is a Religious place in the middle of the Thane City which many know but it is also a Perfect place For Beginner Trekkers As a Video Creator I need to capture every place I visit so I came across many youngsters who were just visited Mama Bhanja Hills for trekking I covered the entire trekking route from base camp to the top if you want to see my journey of Mana Bhanja Hills search Shobi Shobu on YouTube to watch the video

  • 3/5 Sahil S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the best option those people who wanna start thier trekking from zero. Traveling is cheap and at such a cheap rate, you can enjoy great scenic beauty, waterfall, natural climate with dense green forests. It's worth it to go their. I have given just three stars to it because the entrance is not maintained as people throw garbage near the entrance due which thier is a pile of garbage near the entrance.

  • 5/5 Soham V. 1 year ago on Google
    An easy to medium level hike from thane's Wagle estate offers mesmerizing view from the top which is a Dargah. Takes around an hour to reach the summit and it's not much difficult for novice. Offers view of national park's valley and abouts of borivali and Powai.

    Good place to visit during monsoon. There is a story about this place which gave the name Mama Bhanja, you can Google it. The place is good for trekking, there is Dargah at the top. From take station you can take a bus to Lokmanya Nagar and from their 10-15 min walking near the mountain!!

  • 5/5 SA G. 6 months ago on Google
    It's good trek for beginners, Recommended to visit in monsoons as it gets waterfalls ponds everywhere,it's sometimes hard to find the entry but asking the local can help the most at that time.Wear full pants as half pants/shorts are not allowed on the right dargah,if you wore shorts you may get warnings from the local living up there. Stayyy safe, Keep exploring ❤️
