Sanjay Gandhi National Park
The Sanjay Gandhi National Park area has a long written history dating back to the 4th century BCE. In ancient India, Sopara and Kalyan were two ports in the vicinity that traded with ancient civilisations such as Greece and Mesopotamia. The land route between these two ports was partially through this forest.
Patlipada
The area has seen massive population growth with a lot of new residential and commercial projects being completed in the last 4–8 years. Commercial activity is on the rise. Patlipada is at a higher altitude than the actual city. The Sanjay Gandhi National Park area is across the road. Coming from Thane Station, Patlipada is after Manpada and before Waghbil.
