Badlapur

Over a period of time, Badlapur has transformed into a major residential area, comprising various communities and people of different social classes. Badlapur is typically known to Mumbai people as a week-end picnic spot, as it hosts two major dams, and a few waterfalls appear during the monsoon.
Its proximity to Mumbai has transformed Badlapur into one of the major residential zones in the area. Although it is approximately 70 km from Mumbai main city, its quiet surroundings, proximity to beautiful natural environments and somewhat cool temperatures made it a place liked by many.

Badlapur is well connected with Mumbai, Pune and Bhiwandi through rail and road networks. The nearest airport is Mumbai International Airport (approx. 65 km). The nearest rail head is Kalyan, which is a junction that connects to all parts of India. The best way to get in is by local trains (EMU) which ply round the clock between Badlapur and Mumbai.

Services of three-wheeler autorickshaws are available. These are very affordable and the best way to get around faster. However, many people though like to walk around town, as you won't easily tire there, due to its clean air.

Temples

• Kondeshwar - Kondeshwar has a beautiful water fall along with a pond. There is a temple of Lord Shiva and hence the name Kondeshwar. Kondeshwar is remotely located away from noise and urban pollution, with the nearest village located about 20/25 minutes by walk. Though Kondeshwar is a very beautiful place to be in a monsoon period, there have been many accidents and fatalities due to unsafe swimming practices by people who have very less knowledge of the crevices under the water. Many people have died due to the turbulence of the waterfall and they were taken inside the crevices from where it is very difficult to come out due to the heavy force of water.
• Gajanan Maharaj Temple – Kanhor - Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Temple – Kanhor is among the well known religious places located in a serene & scenic place. The temple is situated just outside of Badlapur village on a small hillock surrounded by fields and greenery all around.
