Bandra Fort

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Bandra Fort is located at Lands End in Bandra. The trip from Bandra railway station to the fort takes around 20 minutes if you hire a rickshaw or a private vehicle.

This fort, also known as Castella de Aguada, was built by the Portuguese in 1640. This turned out to be another watchtower.

Entry to the Fort

This fort, though small, is very well maintained. It takes around 30 minutes to see this fort. This fort is usually infested by couples and college students who come here to view the sea. The sea link is very easily visible from here.

After spending some time here we decided to head back home.
