Madikeri Fort - Fortress in Madikeri - Kodagu, India

The fort is really grand but it's maintenance and development has not being done properly by the administration. There's a very old beautiful church which has been unfortunately converted into a museum. Although the artefacts kept there is worth watching, it should have been displayed at a different building. The sanctity of the church should have been maintained. It really hurts to see a holy place being used so recklessly. The old court building near the fort would have been worth viewing from inside but as some renovations were being done we could view it's historical grandness from outside only. Overall the place could be a great place to visit with a bit of assistance from the government administration to make a few changes to upkeep the place.

The fort was under renovation when we went there. There is no entry fee for the fort but there is a charge if you want to visit the museum, the museum is present just at the entrance opposite to the fort and costs around Rs10/- per head. You can walk around the fort by climbing up the wall of the fort. There are two elephant statues from where you can climb up the wall. You can see the whole of Coorg from above those walls. You can visualize how the wall must have been used by the kings military to watch out for the enemies. There are spaces between the walls that must have been used by archers and shooters. While walking on the wall around the palace you can see old stables etc, those are not maintained now.

It is a nice fortress If you look from the fortifications you can view the entire city But the museum was closed when I went there There are many old admistrative officies that look like ruins There is also a temple devoted for lord Ganesha
