Sultan Bathery

 

Sultan Bathery is a popular tourist attraction. Tipu Sultan of Mysore built the infamous watchtower at Boloor (On the banks of Gurupur river) in 1784. This watchtower helped the restless warriors of Tippu Sultan to watch out for Britsh invaders and to store the cannons and gunpowder needed to attack them at first sight. 

After climbing the top of the watchtower by stairs, one can get a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea. 

Also, one can take the ferry ride by paying a small amount across the Gurupur River and reach Tannirbhavi Beach.
