Worli Koliwada Heritage Walk - 28 Sep 2024

Worli Koliwada Heritage Walk

Identified as an urban village or a ‘Gaothan’, Worli Koliwada is endowed with rich historical, social, and cultural significances. It is home to the aboriginals of Mumbai, the Koli community. A fort built by the Portuguese in 1561 sits at the very tip of Worli Island. Overlooking Mahim Bay, it is one of the iconic Mumbai landmarks.

Worli Koliwada is dotted with small, picturesque temples and a colourful motley of houses. This heritage walk will take you through the twisting lanes of the Koliwada exploring the history and legends of the area. For a good break from the daily routine, get off that local train and take a tour into the calm yet buzzing streets of Worli, right in the heart of the Mumbai!
