How to get here

For Mumbai

  • We are about 108 km from down-town Mumbai. It takes between 1.5 - 2.5 hours to reach us (depending on traffic conditions.)
  • Head North on the Western Expressway: Travel north along the western express highway for most of the way. Coming from Mumbai, you will need to pass two toll gates, one at Mira Road and another at Virar. After traveling a further 28 km north take a right turn at "Ten Naka" (Manor off-ramp). You will see some land marks like Hotel Decent and Hotel Vegas just before reaching the Ten Naka turn-off.
  • Take the Manor/Ten Naka off-ramp: Just after you take the off-ramp, you will pass the Hotel Taj Inn, you will need to take a right turn under the bridge into Ten Naka. Then travel another 3 km on this WADA/Manor road and look out for a narrow turn right at "Hamrapur Phata". There is metal arch at the entrance of this road. There is also a Govardhan Ecovillage signboard at the entrance of this road.
  • Turn right into Hamrapur Phata / Galtare: After taking this right turn travel along this narrow, long winding road for 7km to reach "Galtare" where Govardhan Ecovillage is located. The property is on the left of the road and you will see the signboard and bricked wall entrance gates. There is ample car parking inside the property.

The nearest airport is Mumbai International Airport which is 90 km from Govardhan Ecovillage.
