Devanahalli Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Devanahalli Fort is located 35 kilometers (22 mi) north of Bangalore city, at Devanahalli in the State of Karnataka, India.[1]

It was originally built in 1501 by Mallabairegowda,[1][2][3][4] which remained in the hands of his descendants until the mid–eighteenth century. In 1749, the then Dalwai of Mysore, Nanjarajaiah, attacked the fort and occupied it. Later, the fort passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and subsequently Tipu Sultan.[2] In 1791, Lord Cornwallis laid siege to the fort and took possession during the Anglo-Mysore War.

The birthplace of Tipu Sultan, also known as Tiger of Mysore, is located near to the fort.[5] The fort is situated on the side of National Highway 7, near the Bengaluru International Airport.

Yummy stuffed parathas at NH7. A great spot for a quick bite on a highway!

Value for the money
Photos looked too good. Upon arrival- neighbourhood area seemed scary as it was in a remote location- felt a bit insecure but turned out to be a great place. Will certainly consider once again for a transit stop
