Tansa Lake is located in Thane district in Konkan region of Maharashtra. The lake is the main source of water supply for the city of Mumbai and has a capacity to store 3 million gallons of water. It supplies 300 thousand gallons of water every day to Mumbai through specially laid pipelines. It is a pleasant place for a daylong excursion. The glittering expanse of Tansa Lake is an eye-catching spectacle and also a perennial source of water to wild life in the Tansa Sanctuary. Being not far from the metropolis of Mumbai, the lake bids fair to be of great attraction to its citizens. It is a very pleasant place surrounded by natural beauty. Marching Destination: By Road: Tansa Lake is near from Thane. By Rail : Atgaon is nearest Railway Station. By Air : Mumbai is nearest airport. Shirish p.
