Arnala Fort Trek
Arnala, Maharashtra 401302, India (Thane)
If you are looking for an easy sea fort near Mumbai, Arnala Fort is a great choice. It stands on a small island off Arnala village in Palghar district, and a short boat ride from the fishing jetty drops you at its walls. The fort is compact, with old ramparts, bastions, temples and quiet village lanes inside, and the sea views from the walls are the highlight. It works well as a relaxed half-day trip, about 61 km from Mumbai. November to February is the best time, when the boat crossing is calm.
