2 weeks agoThe complex is huge. Although everything is in ruins, it's grandeur can be felt even today. Hard to believe that such a complex is present in near vicinity of Mumbai/Thane. It seems either people have already visited this place or they still don't know about it. Important points to consider: 1. Get your own vehicle as this place is quite far. Don't rely upon cab services. You won't get anything. 2. Cellular Network is erratic at best. 3. Many patches of the roads are bad. 4. No washrooms available. 5. Keep aside 2 hrs to explore the places. 6. You will find quite a few families enjoying there so security is NOT an issue.

a week agoVasai fort complex is a great place to visit for learning the history of the place. The ruins are fairly well maintained though maintaining Nance of cleanliness should be improved hence knocking off 1 star. The complex is extremely large so please budget 1 full day to really carefully explore the entire complex. This is kids friendly but please be careful when climbing the stairs stairways and any heights. Carry some water and snacks too but please don't litter.

2 months agoVasai Fort's history began in the 15th century as a strategic hub for the Sultan of Gujarat, but it is most famously associated with the Portuguese who conquered and rebuilt it in the 1530s, making it their main naval base in Western India for over two centuries. It was eventually captured by the Marathas under Chimaji Appa in 1739. The fort is ruined and mostly full of couples doing photoshoot the fort is protected by Archeological survey of India the authority should maintain cleanliness . You can get a bus from vasai station to virar killa 10 rupees per person last bus will be at 9:00 PM.
