Anjengo Fort

Anjengo stands for Anju Thengu or five coconut trees. The fort is some 36 kms north of Trivandrum and near the famous beach of Varkala. The English East India Company established the fort in Anjengo in 1684. Here you can now find the remnants of a fort and a nearby cemetery which contains the graves of the Englishmen and their families which once occupied the fort. The beach in front of the fort is serene and ideal for picnickers.
