Tour Details

Unveiling the Enigmatic Thirumalaguppi Fort with Nature Admire

Imagine yourself standing amidst the ruins of Ankushagiri Fort, the wind whispering tales of a forgotten era. Nature Admire’s trek to this enigmatic fort isn’t just about physical challenge, it’s a journey through history and hidden stories.

A King’s Legacy (or Perhaps Not?)

Local legends credit King Ankusha Raya for building the fort in the 16th century. Our guides at Nature Admire will share this story, but also delve deeper. The architectural style hints at a possible connection to the Vijayanagara dynasty. As we explore the fort’s remnants, we’ll discuss the ongoing research to uncover the truth behind Ankushagiri’s origins.

Witnessing the Fort’s Tumultuous Past

Walk through the footsteps of warriors as you explore the fort’s remains. Imagine the battles fought, the strategies planned, and the lives lived within these very walls. We’ll encounter ruined temples, fortifications that once stood strong, and even a possible palace complex. Our guides will bring the fort’s history to life, painting a picture of its past glory and the power struggles that unfolded here.

Finding Tranquility at the Foot of the Fort

Before or after your trek, visit the revered Sri Thimmaraya Swamy Temple, a spiritual haven nestled at the foot of the fort. Seek blessings, appreciate the temple’s architecture, and experience the serenity that envelops this sacred space.

A Blend of Adventure and Nature

The trek itself is a moderate challenge, offering stunning views amidst lush greenery and rocky outcrops. Our experienced guides will ensure your safety while keeping the pace comfortable for the group. Nature Admire prioritizes responsible eco-tourism practices, so you can explore with the peace of mind that you’re not harming the environment.

More Than Just a Trek

Ankushagiri Fort with Nature Admire is more than just a trek. It’s a chance to connect with history, embrace nature, and embark on an unforgettable adventure.
