A vast creek divides the Mumbai suburban zones (in which Bhayander falls) and Vasai-Virar. In the north lies Vasai Creek, to the east Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and the Uttan coast to the west. It mainly is of Deccan lava terrain and consists of waterlogged and marshy areas. The climate is tropical, wet and dry.[1]
