Alamparai Fort, an amazing history


This is an ancient town (now Kadapakkatrum village) with a history dating back to centuries. This tiny place on the east coast was used as a port to export zari, pepper, salt and ghee in ancient times. Also we gather that this famous ECR was once a beaten road to Rameswaram for pilgrims. Must have been a buzzing place in those days. Even ancient poems refers this place as

Idaikazhainadu

The ruined fort in the picture was built by musilm rulers during 1746 AD by Nawab of Carnatic Dost.Alikhan. However, by 1760, this fort was destroyed by the Britishers. This fort was also destroyed by 2004 tsunami.

Now it looks like a small fishing hamlet with scenic backwaters.


How to reach there ?

You take the ECR from Chennai and drive past Mahabalipuram, you will find a small sign post on the left side guiding you. If you zip past you might miss.

Time to spend : 30-45 minutes.
Entry tickets : Nil, this place is in ruins and anyone can walk in
.
Ask the fisherman around, to take you a ride on the water to view the fort from sea.

A nice place for lovers of history to explore the fort ruins.
