Historical Forts and Caves in Mumbai and Thane

In my quest to cycle to various forts in and around Mumbai, I came across this map of forts in Thane created by BharGo. This was an incredible find… the amount of effort that he has taken to put this list together is great. But the forts in Mumbai were missing, and so I copied this map and created my own map. I have also added another layer with caves in and around Mumbai.

It lists out the following forts. Am putting links to the forts that I have already been to in the list below.
