******************************************
Droog Fort can be trekked to from Coonoor. You may also see or hear the fort referred to as BakasuraMalai. The fort stands at 2,000 meters above sea level. In the fort’s heyday Tipu Sultan used the fort for defence and to survey the valley below. These days, unfortunately, there isn’t much more than a wall left. But what time took from the fort it has been unable to take from nature; there is still an impressive view from the site of the fort.
