This fort is called Kottamalai. It is at 16 km towards south of famous Vellore Fort. Very little information is available about this interesting place. Natives tell that the fort is a number of centuries old. The fort is a good site for a day long trekking expedition. Apparently there is only one way to climb the fort. The way includes a couple of places where the rock is nicely steep. A little more than average fitness required to climb this fort. The fort is surrounded by thorny bushes which may cause trouble till one gets used to them. The hill has some wonderful places to offer a formidable challenge to rock climbing lovers.
