Kajupada Hill, Ghodbunder Road, Thane West

Kajupada is a small hill situated near Thane creek in Kajupada village. It lies opposite to the Coca cola company. There is a temple on top of the local people who go up there during Nag Panchami. Hill height is about 130 meters. There are multiple ways to climb up. The hill though not of much height, but is quite deceiving. The climb is steep and rocky. During rains its very slippery and risky. Top part of hill is also rocky as seen in picture. At the base of hill, vegetation is quite dense. The leaves brush against you and you feel the itch. Its better to go in winter up there. There are no parking's available.

At base there is a temple, shri munde aakri devi as shown above and road towards it is extremely muddy and slushy. Some dumping also goes around here. The road is very bad and you might sink your whole feet inside the dumped mud. There are quite interesting tales about the hill though as one can ask the locals around.
