Top attractions in Villupuram
Gingee Fort
A large hill-fort complex spread across three separate rocky hills, once described by the Marathas as the most impregnable fort in India. Climbing to Rajagiri, the tallest of the three hills, takes a couple of hours but covers a genuinely huge, still largely intact fortification.
