This fort is located in the city itself. Very near to lord anjeyana temple and sri Narasimhan temple. All people can go this fort easily since steps are there for climbing. Very good looking fort. But the fort is not maintained well in top. So much bushes and not maintained by anybody. Small Perumal temple is located at the top.If the top fort is maintained well, then definitely it is best tourism, then families can come. Corporation should take initiative to make good tourist spot. Big lake is located with park facilities in below of the fort ,it is one of the good thing. Families with kids can spent time in the evening.

Great place to get a 360 degrees view of the city. The entry is not as per Google maps. It's a very narrow lane with no sign boards in the opposite side. You have to really be determined to find the entry, it's so hidden. Just follow the visuals and logic. The climb isn't that difficult. It will take around 10 mins for an avg person to climb up.

You can see get a nice view of Namakkal from this Fort . Other than that you can see some weird behaviours of teens without considering anybody.Girls are fallen in the name of love and make fun with the boys. Teenage Boys make girls fall in the sake of love and do their duties with the girls . I don't know where and when are these things going to end !?

The fort was built by the Madurai Nayaks during the 17th century. It is reported to have been built by Ramachandra Nayakar, the Poligar of Sendamangalam, during the reign of Thirumalai Nayak. The fort was captured by the British in 1768, to be lost to Hyder Ali. His son Tipu Sultan went on to utilise the fort as a arms depot and watch tower. It switched hands to the British East India Company who got five forts including this one as a part of the Treaty of Srirangapatnam. The British used the fort for storing food grains and arms in the hillock. The British used this as a watch tower. Lieutenant Fehrszen used this as a garrison during the Peninsular war. The fort is located in the centre of Namakkal town over a hillock made of single rock named Namagiri. The fort is located on the top of the rock, 246 ft tall. There is a Narasimha Murthy temple and a mosque that are located within the fort, both of which are popular tourist attractions .The area of the fort is around 1.5 acres on the top. An 8 ft image of Hanuman is reinstalled on the fort, facing the Narasimha image on the top of the fort. According to Hindu legend, the hillock on which the fort is located was carried by Hanuman. The hillock is known as Namagiri and also as Saligramam, the image of Vishnu in a divine stone. Hanuman was flying with the Sanjeevi Paravatha, the sacred mountain from Himalayan mountain to Sri Lanka. On his way, he saw the Kamalalayam tank located at foothills and descended there to perform his morning worship. He placed the saligramam he brought from the Himalayas and when he opened his eyes after the worship, he saw the stone grown to its current size. A divine voice asked him to leave the stone in the place itself. As per another legend, Narasimha, an avatar of Vishnu, after destroying Asura Hiranyakasipu, was still in ferocious mood. Hanuman, brought him to the place where Mahalakshmi, the wife of Vishnu was doing penance.

My mom went on a trip around South India. She shared with me her experiences, photos and videos. Namakkal Fort was one of her stops. It is accessible through a flight of stairs on the South West side. The fort is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Amazing View of Nammakkal City,Best time to visit is evening. No shops at Hill top.

Nice place to get view of namakkal town...built by pallavas and later on ruled by tippu sultan ... Pros.. On mountain you will find Sri Rama temple Below this fort, on one side you will find narasimha swamy temple constructed under this mountain and other side of the mountain you will find ranganatha swamy temple .. Cons Not a fine place to visit for families ,as most of the time you will find young kids and college students hanging out with their partners for fun... No proper patrol to control this....

Heritage Fort at Namakal , nice place to visit especially at morning 6 am

It is fort built over single rock.it would have been nice if the archeology survey dept kept some history information sharing about the fort. Small one but the antiqueness will make you feel visiting the previous era. Two rooms with high walls , most probably rulers might have used as jail cell. Small temple of Varadharaja Perumal is available with out any priest. Lot of opportunities to improve

Amazing fort. Best place for couple (only). Best time to visit is early in the morning and evening. There is no entry fee. Below rock hill there are cave temples. Do not forget to visit them. View from fort is nice. But again, fort is almost damaged by lovers...

Nice place to visit in evening time for fresh air.

It's one of the Sultan forte located ❤️ of the city in that fort had masudi also nice view you can get in 80% city but no neatly maintain It's one of the UNESCO's memorial historical place to visit Near by now boating and garden areas parking facility also there nice place to visit

The Narasimar still have the blood stain in his hands

One such unsung historic place at Namakkal District. Literally couldn't find anything except the outer walls. The local government is trying it's best to recover the past and renew its respect as a monument. Boating and parks near the fort were developed in recent days.

Need maintenance.Sometimes heard about threatening of wandering people around there.Avoid taking valuable thingsMorning and evening time is good for going up.

Historical place. Many improvements made by govt. early mrng and evening times we can see beautiful view of Kollihills from the fort.

It was awesome experience and very good view to see the total Namakkal city..

Ok

Nice to visit

Very nice

Nice place in good view to Namakkal And no entry fees

when i visit this fort was closed, literally this fort was occupied by lovers each and every corner have sit set of lovers

Magnificent location right in the middle of Namakkal town. It is an archeological site but not monetized by authorities yet. I was surprised to see that it is not vandalised yet by anti social elements. There could be some better waste management on top, but its not as bad as one would expect. The views from the top is spectacular especially for sunrise and sunset. It gets too much windy so you have to take care of your things. The entrance to the place is hidden you might have to ask locals. Parking is very much limited at the entrance, but there are plenty parking available on other sides of the fort.

Well developed now. In 2000s places around fort was only with mud. But now there are 3parks around and looks like a tourist spots. All are very clean and maintaining well..

Every Friday evening, we can visit here with our family. We can see the beauty of whole city from here. This is my favorite place from my childhood. Signature of Namakkal❤️

360 degree view No entry fees No parking facilities Opposite to Namakkal Anjaneyar temple Must visit place Good view of the lake and the 360 15 minutes walk from Namakkal bus stand 5 minutes walk from Anjaneyar temple

You can see the whole city from there, on of the best fort by thippu sultan, at the top there is a mosque, need more maintenance to keep the place clean and good....

It was an ancient fort which was ruined and the view of the fort was very beautiful. The lakes and parks around the fornt is main attraction to the visiters . Its one of the famous tourist place in Tamilnadu. If you're travelling in Tamil Nadu don't miss to visit Namakkal.

Good historical place. Fort walls are intact but absence of significant buildings and absence of artifacts or bare minimum

Beautiful place with different temples , well maintained n good rock cut architecture

Best time pass place in namakkal...... And such a wonderfull view..... We can see all over city view.... Evening time is a best time... Full light brightness city look beautifull.... And such ah big rocks feel us great..... And just simply sit on the top of the steps... Feel fresh air... I like the place.... And feel...

Nice to see. Very big size of mountain ⛰️ in center city. Fort looks good. No parking facility in entrance area. We have to park the side of the road. Steps - not good it has very slope. Be careful while you go upstairs. In noon time - don't go in noon time. Because rock will be heat. Fort recently closed in front of the fort gate. Somebody misuse this fort.

The High Rise Namakkal Fort is an example of one of the chola dynasty... Breezy and natural stepping stones make it an enjoyable climb to the top... A beautiful scenic view of Namakkal town and temples below is mesmerizing...

Nice Fort. We can see entire city Panoromic view.

Nice fort… Peace & Calm Place
