This is a small sea fort build by the portuguese to keep a check on trade carried through danda creek and Kelve area. One can only reach the danda fort during the low tide. Pls check the ride timing beforehand or else you may get stuck in the tide can be very fatal. One can reach the fort from the Kelve jetty fishermen area by walking for max 15 mins. And try to climb the rocks with are around 8 feet in height. The view from the fort is very beautiful, very less people try to venture here.

It is a unique structure & a must visit spot for history explorers. Due to its unique shape the fort has became a point of curiousity. To get here the first thing to note is the timings of low tides. The fort can only be accessed in low tides. It's a mini adventure trail where you walk a km or two from kelve beach & will sometimes have to walk from a knee level water streams to get here. The chilled water streams coming from danda creek may look dangerous to cross but it's not deep. The sand level is not that leveled so do hold each other's hand while crossing water streams. If you plan to climb & get inside then the big entrance from the danda creek side is the way to climb up. Climbing up is simple but coming down is difficult especially if you have hieght phobia as while coming down you may not see the places to put your foot.

The fort walls and entrances were buried under sand, until in 2008-09, a group of people under the group “Kille Vasai Mohim” cleaned up the sand and the entrances. Today, we have to enter crawling through the partially blocked entrance to the first level. Entering the second door we reach the backside of the fort. There are 4 amazing bastions on 4 sides, shaped triangular. These have windows and holes for guns. It takes less than an hour to see the fort.

Kelva Fort, a historically important fort constructed by Portuguese during 16th century, is located at the southern end of the beautiful and serene Kelva Lake. The fort is situated in Palghar taluka. The fort was used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja during his Maratha rule. The fort offer exquisite panoramic views of the natural surroundings covered by greenish Suru trees. The fort, surrounded all the sides by the water, provide enchanting eye catching experience during the tidal procession and recessions. During low tide periods this is accessible and visible perfectly and local country boat facility is available to approach the fort.
