Khanderi and Undheri Fort
The fort of Khanderi is at a distance of about 3-4km from
Thal Beach. Fortification of this fort is done on a small island
with an additional beauty of a lighthouse which was built
a bit later. Built in the year 1678, this fort was under the
empowerment of the British for a long time. Despite this fact,
till the year 1750, the British attempts to captivate the island
fort of Khanderi did not prove to be fruitful. As for the current
situation, the fort of Khanderi is under the administration of
Mumbai Port Trust, by the permission of whom, the fort can
be visited in local boats.
Underi is another small island in the
vicinity of Khanderi, at the Mumbai harbour entrance. It is
infact a part of Khanderi in itself. Underi is little smaller than
Khanderi and is somewhat circular leaving a cove where
boarts harbour and surrounded with rocks.
