'It may boast of many other attractions, but Thane is especially popular for its beautiful lakes. The Upvan Lake is deemed the biggest and undoubtedly the most picturesque among all its lakes. It is situated in the Pokhran-II area within the city and is surrounded by the Yeoor Hill ranges. The lake offers a mesmerizing view and evokes a romantic atmosphere around it, especially at sunset. This is perhaps the reasons why the lake is flanked by locals around evenfall, enjoying the serene environs of the lake. The lake is also essential to the city’s water supply and works as a lifeline.'
