Little was known about Betul Fort before the History Lovers Group, a bunch of history enthusiasts took the initiative to restore the old derelict remains. This 17th century fort stands at a panoramic vantage point. From the existing Southern bastion of the fort you can view the expansive Betul river emptying itself into the Arabian Sea. History has it that in 1762 the Portuguese, through a pact with the King of Sunda, annexed the area. They later established a customs house, police station and post office in the fort.
