This Fort built and used during the late 16th Century, still stands as a reminder of the Kingdoms that existed in those days. The Fort has all facilities like watch towers, ammunition dumps, Soldiers quarters, water storage facilities and of course temples of different deities, mostly defunct now. It will take atleast two hours to explore the entire fort.
It’s wonderful place to visit with friends, if you’re interested in trekking and history,, it’s better to take the local guide to know the story of that fort..each stone has his own story wish makes just WoW..special attraction of that place is Obbavvana Kindi..it’s amazing!!
