Madikeri Fort Coorg - Detailed
The Madikeri Fort in Coorg has a fascinating history. However, for a tourist, it's like a cherry on the top, yet hidden. A short walk from the center of the town will lead you to the fort. It currently houses the district commissioner office. The church building at the entrance of the fort houses a museum. There is also an old temple within the fort premises as well a number of houses where people actually live.
However, the sad part is that the apart from the two main buildings, rest of the buildings are absolutely in shambles. Sadly, they will ultimately be lost. So, make it point if you happen to visit Coorg, do make time for the MAdikeri Fort. If not the masonry elephants or the 300 year old structure, you will definitely enjoy the panoramic views of Coorg that the Madikeri fort offers!
