Meeting Place : Gods Gift Tower, Yari Road, Versova, Andheri West (5 minutes walk from Mud Jetty).
Explore fort and land
Start from Andheri to Versova and reach Versova Jetty. Cross the creek with your bicycles on ferry boats on the other side to Madh. Start cycling through fishermans’ small locality near madh to reach madh fort and madh island. Explore the virgin land with pin drop silence and unexplored land route. The fort is secluded and difficult to reach – it is the last stop on route 271 of BEST bus service. It was built by Portuguese as watch tower in 17thcentury. Some famous bollywood movies like ‘Love Ke Liye Kucch bhi Karega’ and Manmohan Desai’s 1985 Movie ‘Mard’ have been shot at this location. Many episodes of the popular serial C.I.D are also shot here…!!
Reach Marve Jetty and take your cycles again on ferry boat to the other side of Manori and Gorai, the east Indian villages part of former Portuguese colony of Bassein. Check out the crumbling holy magi church in Gorai and be back by 3 pm at Versova.
Preparations and things to carry:
Minimal weight of your rucksack is recommended as load starts feeling later once you cycle further. Water bottle, sunscreen Cream, extra money, headgear/cap and sunglasses are must recommend. Avoid wearing dark color clothes and slippers/sandles/heels. Jogging shoes are best for cycling. Waist pouches too can come very handy for things that require frequent usage during the day. You can carry packed lunch on morning till evening cycling days.
Be a Proud Eco Adventurist!
Bicycles provide numerous benefits compared to motor vehicles, including exercise, an alternative to the use of fossil fuels, no airor noise pollution, much reduced traffic congestion, easier parking, greater maneuverability, and access to both roads and paths. The advantages are at less financial cost to the user as well as society (negligible damage to roads, and less pavement required).
