Gokuldham

How to get there

By Rail: The closest railway station is Goregaon. It is on the western line. At goregaon get to the east of the railway. Just outside the station there is an auto stand and also a bus stand. By auto the fare is upto 20 bucks depending on the traffic. The bus routes are 347 and 343. By Road: Gokuldham lies just off the western express highway. While travelling away from the city take the first right turn after the Aarey milk colony intersection. The landmark to look out for is the Oberoi constructions. This is the Gen AK Vaidya Marg. Along this road is a major bus depot called Dindoshi Bus Depot. After that is a petrol pump. Further down take the first right turn at the Court House and voila...Gokuldham.

Sights and sounds

Gokuldham is a very densely populated locality with over a hundred residential bulding from 5 to 30 floors high. It is expanding at a break neck pace. In spite of all the construction activity a great many number of families live comfortable lives. There are two schools very close to each other. The first called Gokuldham High School is just at the entrance of the locality. The other called Yashodham is located in the heart of the adjecent locality. The local population congregates in and around the large temple complex - Krishnavatika' -also located near the entrance. There are many grounds and maidans which provide playing areas for the children as also meeting areas during festivals. But other than this one doesn't find any other means of entertainment in the place. A multiplex close to home is sorely missed by the significantly large populace.Its a beautiful place !!!
