Trombay

Trombay (also called as Turbhe in local Marathi language) is a North eastern suburb of Mumbai. It is accesible from Mankhurd which is the closest railway station on the Harbour Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railways.
The original inhabitants of Trombay are fisher men due to its proximity to the the Arabian Sea(Vashi creek).
