Mama Bhanja Hills is situated in Thane West. It is a very easy trek and offers an amazing view from the top. There are two starting points for the trek-
1) Lokmanya Nagar (commonly preferred)
2) Hanuman Nagar, Wagle Industrial estate.

We took the route from Lokmanya Nagar. You can catch a bus to Lokmanya Nagar from Thane Railway Station as well as Mulund. Share autos as well as private autos are available from Thane railway station. Private autos will cost 70 to 80 rupees and sharing auto costs 25 rupees per person. The starting point is approximately 4.8 kms from Thane Railway station.

The auto stand is opposite the Lokmanya Nagar bus depot. On the left side, take the road going inside and reach the starting point in 5 minutes. You have to enter the green gate and cross the playground. The trail starts from the other side of the playground. The initial trail is very big. Within 2 minutes of walking, you will reach two diversions. Take the trail going to the left which will lead you to a small bridge. Once you cross the bridge, you will see the starting point with a green board mentioning "Mama Bhanja Trek". The trek should be completed before dark as there are chances of Leopard attacks.

There are steps from the starting point to the top. There are no chances of getting lost. One can reach the top in 1 to 1.5 hours, explore the top, take rest and descend in 45 minutes to one hour. After completing 45 to 50% of the trek, one will reach the Mastan Darbar. One can rest over here. Black tea is available over here. After the Mastan Darbar starts the second half of the trek. The height gained in the second part is very rapid and can be exhausting to some people. After 20-25 minutes of climbing, one will reach the ridge which means the trek is over. On the left is Bhanja Dargah and on the right is the Mama Dargah.

Walking for 5 minutes on the left will take you to Mama Dargah. From here, clear view of Thane, Mulund and Bhandup is seen on the left side. On the right side, one can see The Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Vihar lake, Tulsi Lake and the towers in Goregaon- Malad region. There is a small trail going from the right side of Bhanja Dargah which leads to Yogi Hills in Mulund. 10 minutes walk back from here will lead you to Mama Dargah. On the way, there is a mosque and a couple of homes. They provide you with drinking water and black tea. One has to remove shoes and not use the camera while going to Mama Dargah.

Keep the nature clean!
