Alamparai fort is 100 kilometers from chennai and 50 kilometers from Pondicherry on ECR. It's not flooded by tourists and is surprisingly peaceful and relaxing to visit the ruined fort and have the experience of the sea breeze and also to notice the backwater which gets logged very close to the fort. Let me give you the opening shots of the fort which also gives some back story about the fort.
The fort is intentionally ruined during the British rule. What ever remains, stands as a sign of the destructive nature of the then rulers. Nevertheless it is some feeling to get into that place and importantly the place is photogenic, so if you like to take pictures, you will actually find the ruins as treasures. It very much looks like a good place for shooting movies. Lets see a few shots that will prove my observation, even if I am not a good photographer, the place speaks for itself:
And as you could see, that is my brother with a riding jacket, and on boots; he is also wearing a knee guard inside his pants. Yes, we are not reckless bikers, we give great importance to safety. Now back to the fort:
There is a kind of a back water close to the fort. Combined with the ruins from the fort, the water looks unique.
As I mentioned earlier, this place is not flooded by tourists and that helps you when you want to escape the city traffic and get yourself relaxed. Carry drinking water with you though, since the fort is a couple of kilometers from the main road and you will not find a shop near by easily.
Below is a parting shot of the wide wall of the fort from the inside:
And my then drive, Avenger:
The Duke 390 that can be seen in the corner is my brother's, it had a tough time playing it down for Avenger.
Hope you enjoyed the reading and viewing. Lets meet on some other day and at some other place!
