vasai cityBassein (Vasai) is a beautiful spot located about 50 km away from Mumbai City and 20 km away from Borivali. Vasai has always attracted tourists from various parts of the country - it is a popular tourist spot in Maharashtra. It  is famous because of a number of temples and places of pilgrimage and is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, green trees, and clean sea beaches. This Taluka is known as the "Land of Lord Parshurama".

Today's Vasai Taluka has rapidly changed since the 1980's due to the large influx of people flooding in because of availability of more affordable housing than in mumbai (bombay).   Vasai was known as Baçaim (Bassein) and had various other names during the course of history. The most significant past in Vasai's history is the rein of the Portuguese, since they largely influenced or changed to what Vasai Taluka is today.
