As per records
with regards to the Baramahal or the 12 forts built in Krishnagiri district, one of
them was the 'Thattakaldurgam' or the 'Thattakal'
fort. As not much information was available (including its location),
finding this fort was a real challenge. We
finally managed to get some reference to this fort and its location. On a
Sunday, we, accompanied by one of our friends headed towards exploring the
fort. After enquiring at a few places, we reached the village of Thattakal. The
locals informed us that not many visit this fort; and the 2 routes leading to
the fort are equally difficult to trek. Now, trekking here with kids was our next
challenge and after looking at the massive hill, we felt it was next to impossible!
We then tried to find a guide who knew this place well and would take us around
the hill. But sadly none agreed. One person even confessed that reaching the hill top
was a tedious task for them too and hardly anybody ventures. However,
we took the details of the route and decided to explore it on our own.
