Chandragiri lies 3 km south of Kasaragod town. The fort is said to have been built in the 17th century by Sivappa Nayak of Bednore, who established his authority over the area and built a chain of forts. A mosque is situated nearby and the view of the bridge with the mosque in the background is one of the most attractive sights on a drive along the NH 17 from Kannur to Kasaragod. The longest railway tunnel in Kerala passes through Chandragiri Hills. A boat club has been recently started here. |
