Virar, the last station on the Western Suburban local train route of Mumbai, was connected with the mainland by an electric train way back in 1925. Seventy percent of the population of Virar is below 30 years of age because of migration from mainland Mumbai.

Arnala is an excellent beach in Virar. Jivdani temple, situated atop a hill with some 1375 steps, offers a very picturesque view of Virar.
