Tulsi Lake
Tulsi Lake is a freshwater reservoir located in northern Mumbai. It serves as a primary water supply for the city and is situated within the forested areas of Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Travelers visit this site to experience a natural environment and forest scenery without leaving the city limits.
Getting There
The lake is located in the northern part of the city. From the city centre, the most common way to reach the area is by taxi or ride-sharing service. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes.
Duration of Visit
Visitors generally spend 2 to 4 hours at the lake, depending on whether they intend to walk through the surrounding forest trails or simply view the water.
