Anchuthengu Fort

17th century British East India Company fort surrounded by coconut groves near a working lighthouse.

Anchuthengu Fort, also known as Anjengo Fort, was built by the British East India Company in the 17th century and remains surrounded by coconut groves and the sea. The fort offers a window into Kerala's colonial trading history, and a nearby lighthouse adds sweeping coastal views for visitors willing to climb to the top. The site works well as a history focused half day trip from Varkala.
