Trichy Rock Fort - Wonder of Tamil Nadu - India



 Located 320 km from Chennai and 150 km from Madurai, Trichy is also known for the famous and the fascinating Rock Fort, an architectural marvel that is built on a 83 m high rock, rising amidst the plains. The rock is one of the oldest in the world-approximately 3.800 million years, which makes it as old as the rocks of Greenland and older than the Himalayas. 344 steps hewn out of the rock lead to the top where there are inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century BC. At the top of the rock is the Uchipillaiyar Koil, a temple dedicated to Lord Vinayaka from where one can enjoy a panoramic view of Tiruchirappalli.(by-7wondersofindia)
