Hedavde Mahalaxmi Temple

A fort on an island off Vasai-Virar. The main entrance of the fort faces approximately north. The solid stone doorway is adorned with pictures of tigers and elephants. There is a large octagonal fresh water reservoir inside the fort. Within its walls, are also the temples of Ambakeshwar, Bhavani and Shiva as well as dargahs (tombs) of Shah Ali and Hajji Ali.

A Shiva temple in a strangely beautiful garden. In the dome, a trident (triśul) stands impressively against the horizon. The temple room was small but beautifully decorated in Minimalistic works of colourful glass. On one corner of the room there's a small temple of Devi. In the centre, there is the main Shivalinga with a Hug serpent in brass coiled around it. A brass post hangs above and water trickling down from it drop by drop over the linga. The temple also has some symbols of sacred geometry and the temple is designed as per Vastu Shastra.

A migration corridor between Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary. It rises to about 665 m above sea level, making it a very popular destination for trekkers. Many bird walks, nature trails by wildlife professionals from around Mumbai and Vasai-Virar are conducted here. The terrain is a mix of rocky surface and flatland intermittently. Trekkers must make sure you carry along medical kit, and really good amount of water with you. Highly recommended to wear full sleeves clothes to avoid any bites, wounds, tans. Carrying a cap and sunglasses is a must to protect you from the harsh heat, as this route has less shade. There are two ways you can reach the summit of the Tungareshwar WLS, one being from Vasai Road West which starts from the main gate itself, the other one can be trekked from the region of Vajreshwari.

Portuguese mariners exploring the north Konkan Coast discovered the Arab Sultanate of Khambhat or Cambay, built or renovated or expanded the fort in the early 1400s and attacked it in a failed effort to seize it. The ramparts overlook what is alternatively called Vasai Creek and Bhayander Creek and are almost complete, though overgrown by vegetation. Several watchtowers still stand, with safe staircases leading up. The Portuguese buildings inside the fort are in ruins, although there are enough standing walls to give a good idea of the floor plans of these structures. Some have well-preserved façades. In particular, many of the arches have weathered the years remarkably well. They are usually decorated with carved stones, some weathered beyond recognition, others still displaying sharp chisel marks. Three chapels inside the fort are still recognisable. They have façades typical of 17th-century Portuguese churches. The southernmost of these has a well-preserved barrel-vaulted ceiling. It is a great place to observe butterflies, birds, plants and reptiles.
