SEWRI fort in Mumbai built by the British in 1680, fort served as a watch tower, atop a quarried hill overlooking the Mumbai harbour.During winter flamingo is seen in abundance mostly dec ending and Jan. Jalalshah & Murad shah 2 Shrines/DARGHA make this place more religious. Can view new bridge construction work in progress....

Not well maintained and it is very small but good place. But it is a good place to see flamingos during the winter. It was made by the British. It will take time to locate this place as it is in the very much interior of Sewri. No need of sport shoes as there is no climbing required

Locating this Fort from road was difficult. As near by all HPCL and BPCL trucks stand. And when we drive more inside. A small patch is there which lead to the fort. Recently BMC has done the beautification work and its good. But cleaning is not done on a regular way as compared to sion Fort area. But the view is amazing from here... Birds has formed there homes. One can find peace here..

It is the best place which shows great engineering and gives accurate view flamingos. If any photographer reading this, I insist you to go to fort for good photos and that is the only place from where you can see flamingos. I am giving three stars because of the people how go there for hangout are responsible for spoiling the monument,the walls are carved by those people.whenever you go dont go alone if you are girl or minor thank you .

Very nice place . I love this place too much. One of the best place in mumbai. Very natural looking is this place. I send too much time here. It is the best place to spend time . I feel very peaceful when I reached here. Thats the reason why I love this place. I recommend you to visit this place with family and friends also. Historical place is this. Location is very peaceful environment and holly type. The view of sea is very osm. I cant explain it through words. Means endless end think about it. It looked like both sea and sky are meet at a place where some where. Like two different things are soggy their shoulder with tear. And the result is this ocean.

Review №28

Amazing place to visit. Preferably in the morning as the view is great from there and there is no shade. The place is located at a remote location hence there are less people who visit it during the day time. One can spot flamingos and other bird also from the fort.

Review №29

Cant call it a tourist spot, however if you are a Mumbai parent who wants to take their kids to something other than malls & also give them a dose of reality without prejudice, then its an option. Also is a very good vantage point to view Sewri bay area & the flamingos when they come. Can take your car & park on the side of the road or cycle down. Sewri railway crossing is not an option so be careful if using Google maps. Small uphill walkway to fort, easy to miss. Fort is pretty big & well maintained with good access.Currently closed due to pandemic. Better than worli fort which is also an option in Worli koliwada (no car). Both of them are safe for families. No point in mentioning Mahim fort.

It looks like a pretty nice place. Lovely view.Only issue is that women arent allowed. My friend (another girl) and I walked in because we didnt see any signs and even stayed there for 45 minutes. Nobody said anything at first but after sometime someone shouted for us to leave and we left. The area didnt seem very safe either.If women arent allowed they should put up a sign that says so.

Not a great place to visit by itself however worth a trip if you are planning on visiting Sewri to see the Flamingoes.Its quite close to the Sewri Jetty and not much to look at since its a ruin and barely anything remains but you could get a good vantage point of the Flamingoes from here.

Mumbai is blessed with so many forts strategically located at its coast line like Worli Fort, Mazagoan Fort, Madh Fort, Bandra Fort, Mahim Fort and Sewri Fort. Amongst all these forts I think Bandra Fort and Sewri Fort are decently taken care by the authorities. Sewri Fort is just about 1-2km distance from Sewri station. Its strategic location is such that you can enjoy sunrise ⛅ if you go early on the morning. A beautiful red sun coming out of Creek water presents magnificent view. Fort is relatively in good shape though its not a very big fort but its structure is very much intact. At one side of the fort is a huge Creek from where you can see classic Flamingo point where thousands of flamingo migrates every year to this place and from the other side of the fort you can see highrise buildings of Mumbai. There is also a Durga near to this fort with good number of huge trees around presenting a nice view soothing to the eyes.There is no security guards taking care of this fort and there is no entry fees also. We reached to this place on our cycles and found approach road in a good condition. If you visit to this Fort, dont forget to visit Flamingo point also which is half a km from this place. Dont expect too much from this place but you wont b disappointed if you visit this place.Hope you will find my review useful. I recommend you to discover this hidden and unknown place of Mumbai and spread a word so more n more people visits this place and authorities awakes to take good care of this fort.

Review №51

The place is unsafe for women.. The locals asked us not to get inside the fort as it is crowded by vile men. One could see from outside people consuming alcohol and their very appearance seemed loathsome. Also we could hardly see any taxis or rickshaws taking us to the spot although its not more than 10 mins walk for young people from the station. Ola and Uber can be booked if one is not travelling by train.The flamingo point is another 5 -10 mins walk from the fort. Got to know that one must visit the place in early morning hours to catch a glimpse of flamingos possibly

One of the best well preserved fort amongst all the forts of Mumbai. Most of the structure is intact and is being restored and maintained by Mumbai Fort Circuit Project under Department of Archaeology and Museums.The fort was built by the British in 1680 on a 60 m hillock on the Parel island to ward off frequent attacks by Siddis. It has high stone walls all around with an inner wall.The entrance is a stone doorway that leads into a courtyard. To prevent enemy directly charging from the main entrance, the inner entrances are placed perpendicular to the main entrances. Architectural highlights include pentagonal room along with a long domed corridor, and linear vaulted structures, central courtyard which is around 60 x 20 feet. Two partially underground vaultsThe fort is worth a visit with family in the evening. From the highest point above the entrance gate, the fort offers grand views of the Sewri Mud flats, Refineries, Elephanta Caves , JNPT Port and even view of the main land.One can also walk to the nearby Sewri Mud Flats where your family can enjoy watching flocks of flamingoes at a very close range (during Dec-March period).

Sewri FortThe Sewri Fort in Mumbai was constructed by the British in 1680 as a watchtower. It was built when Portugese were still in Mumbai. Overlooking the Mumbai Harbour, this fort today has small inner entrances. People can enjoy stunning views of the harbour from atop the fort which is a reminder of British period in the country.

Really disappointed to see Muslims encroaching on the space of a historic fort. There are police quarters nearby but the fort is in a very dilapidated condition. The dargah built on the fort, and M. people have actually placed their cloth on the fort entrance with a bamboo to create a false impression that the fort entry is not allowed. I am really disappointed at Maharashtra government authorities for allowing that to happen at such a historical place.
