Tungareshwar Temple During Monsoon

Tungareshwar is one of the highest mountain plateaus in Vasai.Formost trekkers the starting point is the highway junction, which is about a kilometer from the base. At the base there is a forest check post and Bapa Sitaram’s temple. From this point onward starts the actual trek of Tungareshwar. After about a 3 km hike and walking through two streams, you reach the Lord Shiva temple. his place is frequented by pilgrims and at times can be crowded so it is preferable to avoid weekends. For many picnickers this is the destination for enjoyment. A visit to the temple and a swim in the overflowing water pond is all they want out of this outing.
