Mirjan Fort, Gokarna

Mirjam fort is a gem of a place. I loved the architecture, all that is remaining now. The elegant archways make for great photos. The lush green is only available after the rains. So the best time to visit would be between September and Dec. After this I feel it would look arid. We had a good time trekking up and down the steps . You have a beautiful view from the top. Writing more about this at Strings of Heritage.

A fort which is in ruins but is a good visit due to its close proximity to the Highway. The best time though would be the monsoon months as the fort walls would be covered with grass and the greenery does magic to this monument. There's space to park vehicles beside the road as there is no dedicated parking space. There are a few stalls near the fort for refreshments. Entry to the fort is free.
