It is more than 460 years old and has been standing tall and mighty alongside the Ulhas River in the Thane district.

This particular fortress is located in Ghodbunder Village and there are several ways to reach the site.

Ghodbunder Fort is located in Ghodbunder Village, located near Mira Road East and the distance from Mira Road Station to Ghodbunder Fort is around 4 to 5 kilometers and it takes approximately about 10 to 15 minutes to reach Ghodbunder Fort from Mira Road Station on the East side.
