Vasai is slowing emerging as an urban city. This was a small village located to the north of Mumbai in Maharashtra. In recent time the village of Vasai had been added to the Vasai-Virar suburb in the Thane district of Maharashtra.
The city lies on the north side of the Vasai Creek. The distance from the Chatrapathi Shivaji Terminus to Vasai is about 65 km. Vasai-Virar is governed by two government bodies: one is the Gramapanchayat and the other is the Municipal Corporation.
The Vasai-Virar suburb has been formed by conjoining several villages of the region. This city lies in between the Mumbai central and the state of Gujarat, connected by Western express Highway. The highway is further connected to Gujarat-Ahmedabad Highway.
You can reach the city by road and railways. It is well connected by Mumbai suburban trains. If you are travelling by road, you can get into the city via Ghodbunder road from the Thane direction, and take western express highway from the Borivali direction. Either way you have to cross the Vasai creek.
