About Madikeri Fort

Journey Through Time: Madikeri Fort

Welcome to Madikeri Fort, a majestic landmark in the heart of Coorg! Prepare to be transported back in time as you explore its impressive stone structure and rich history.

Originally built as a mud fort in the 17th century by Mudduraja, it was later rebuilt in granite by Tipu Sultan, who renamed it Jaffarabad. Witnessing the rise and fall of empires, the fort was subsequently taken over by the British in 1790.

Don't miss the stunning stone elephants at the entrance, and explore the museum which offers glimpses into Coorg's past. Within the fort complex, you'll also find a clock tower, a church and temples – a fascinating blend of different architectural styles.

Climb the ramparts for panoramic views of Madikeri town and the lush surrounding hills. Madikeri Fort is more than just a structure; it's a living testament to Coorg's captivating history!
