Dharavi Fort — Attraction in Mumbai

Dharavi fort also known as Kala Killa holds significant role in Mumbai's history. It was built by British to protect northern boundary of Mumbai islands that time. From this fort one can keep check on trade route through mithi river. Current condition of the fort is very bad. ASI not paying much attention than declaring it monument. The place surrounded by encroachments. No proper way to enter the fort. Nowhere mention the history, wars occurred around this fort. Very tricky to reach here as the road passes through slums and in front of many houses. Ladder to climb is road to someone's room. If anyone wants visit, ask local people of entrance...

Often Dharavi and Riwa forts are mistaken!

Even at Dharavi fort also there is one board starting that's this fort has second name as Riwa fort!

Please note that Riwa fort is separate and currently there is Ayurveda college and a hospital (Seth Hospital ).

Dharavi fort is in very bad condition. When we visited it was occupied by a person and was using as if poultry farm!

It was full of dirt and there is no way to reach.

We used the damaged wall to climb.

In overall,...

Get amazing views Bandra Worli sealink ...... It is the one historical place. But fort is reserved by local people. No well maintained. Not recommend for tourists...
