MaplaPor: Heritage Walk By Khaki Tours

The Fort of Bombay was once divided into a European quarter and a native quarter. The native quarter was where the wealthy Indian merchants resided in various community enclaves. In one such community enclave, an institution doubled up as a courthouse and jail. Here, the East India Company delivered sentences to criminals and incarcerated them. Join Team Khaki as we take a journey through the Fort`s erstwhile native quarter to discover relics of centuries gone by and unravel the secret of the Mapla Por.
