Arikady Fort, Military fort in Kasaragod District, Kerala, India.
The fort stands on a lateritic hillock beside the Arikady River, positioned between the Kumbala River and the Shiriya River waterways.
Built by Ikeri Hiriya Venkadappa Nayak in 1608, the fort later came under control of the Mysore rulers and British forces after Tipu Sultan's defeat.
Archaeological excavations in 2015 uncovered a large congregation hall, local pottery, Chinese pottery, and traditional artifacts that reveal regional connections.
The fort is accessible via NH 66 National Highway, with Kumbla railway station and bus stand serving as transportation hubs for visitors.
The fort's entrance features a Kannada inscription documenting its establishment, while a Hanuman temple sits at its base.
