Gingee Fort
09 Oct, 2025
About an hour’s drive from Tiruvannamalai, the Gingee Fort stands tall as a testament to courage, endurance, and time itself. Often called the “Troy of the East,” its granite walls crown three rocky hills — Krishnagiri, Rajagiri, and Chandrayandurg. Each bastion tells a story of battles fought and kings who dreamed of eternity.
The climb may test your breath, but every step rewards you with sweeping views of the Tamil countryside. Ruins of granaries, temples, and secret tunnels whisper tales of empires long gone. Standing atop its ramparts as the wind howls through history, you can almost hear the fort breathe.
