Chandragiri Fort, Military fort in Kasaragod, India

The stone fort stands 150 feet above sea level at the meeting point of the Payaswini River and Arabian Sea, covering seven acres of land.

Built in the 17th century by Sivappa Naik of Bedanore, the fort served as a strategic military post between the Tulanadu and Kolathanadu kingdoms.

The Kerala State Department of Archaeology preserves artifacts including stone cannonballs, iron tools, and pottery found during excavations at the fort site.

Visitors can reach the fort by taking a train to Kasaragod station, located 7 kilometers away, or flying to airports in Mangalore or Kannur.

Eight bastions with cannon holes encircle the fort, while an underground tunnel extends from the northeastern corner of the structure.
