Sankagiri Fort is steeped in history. The boulder-strewn rocky hill and the ruins of the fort make for a charming locale and from the hill you can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. You can ascend the fort from two flanks of the hill; one is relatively easy but the other is tough. There are two oil godowns at the fort and a Varadharaja temple. This apart there are two official buildings and a memorial park.

From Sankaragiri, you could visit the Mettur Dam. The charming hill resort, Yercaud is close by too.
