Average experience, entire fort can be leisurely covered within 2 hours. The end point with huge waves is a definite favorite spot.
The best part of the experience was the Archeology dept book shop beside the ticket counter. It has some of the rare publications that are not available elsewhere!!

Bekal Fort offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape and the Arabian Sea. It’s perched on a hillock, overlooking the waves crashing against its base. Imagine standing atop those ancient walls—the salty breeze in your hair, the vast expanse of blue stretching out before you. It’s like a canvas where history meets nature—a mesmerizing blend of beauty and significance.
The fort’s design is both functional and elegant. It once served as a defense stronghold, but today, it beckons travelers and history enthusiasts alike. Its massive walls, watchtowers, and secret passages evoke tales of battles and maritime trade.

We went to Kasargod to experience a ride on Vande Bhrat express. Departed from Ernakulam Town station to Kasaragod on 16 May 2023. We immediately proceeded to Shrigo Resorts just outside Bekal Fort, where we had booked two rooms.
The train journey was pleasant, so also the local driver who took us to the resort, after a short drive in kasargod town.
The resort was good, place was quite calm and there was a pleasant sea breeze always.
Though claimed to serve us breakfast they asked us about our choices and arranged to deliver in our rooms. We left around noon after a morning visit of the Bekal fort.

Lots of expectation built by friends, mentioning the fort was same as used in famous "Tu Hi Re" song of Bombay movie and problem with expectations is that they typically disappoints. However this was an exception.
A very well managed fort starting from ticket entry to entire walk along with wall and then outside the wall nearer to sea. We loved it and did a morning tour again, after covering it in prev evening.
Not a very large fort so can be covered within 2 hrs easily and good pathway to walk long. You can feel the history and nature both together.
There is a lady running the dosa / idly shop while approaching main gate and these are must have.

Bekal Fort was built by the great Indian King Shivappa Nayaka of Keladi dynasty. One of the finest spots in Kasargod district and made more famous by Tamil Director Manirathnam through his movie Bombay where he shot a beautiful song featuring Arvind Samy and Manisha Koirala. Once can see pristine beaches from the fort. Highly recommended place in Northern Kerala.

We went cycling in the morning to the Bekal fort. It opens at 8 am and you need to buy a Rs. 25/person ticket to enter. There is not much left of the fort except the outer walls but the view from a lot of places inside the fort is amazing, specially the part where you go down through a small gate. You can walk around the fort as it is quite big and can also access a beach which is very clean. The sea view is mesmerizing as the water is pure blue. It is advised to visit the fort during the day or evening as it can get quite hot during the day.

yes there are steps at certain view points. While he can skip those if need be. But please note that it is quite a long walk to cover the whole fort area. Also the beach viewpoint involve steps and slidewalk to reach, so would be tiring to cover the whole place
Escrita el 29 de junio de 2019
You can go to the beach near Bekal fort. You can also go to the backwaters and take a boat ride. Being in Bekal and taking long walks itself is beautiful and calming. No need to tick the attractions on the list.

KASARAGOD TOUR – THE BEST BEACHES, BACKWATERS, SHRINES AND OTHER TOURIST PLACES
Kasaragod is often named as land of Lords and Forts and one of the most beautiful districts in Kerala state endowed with 9 rivers (out of a total of the 44 rivers that flow in Kerala), hills, beaches, backwaters, as well as temples, churches, mosques and forts.
Kasaragod tour is all about beaches, backwaters, hill stations, shrines and cultural discoveries. Here are the top destinations of the northern corridor of Kerala.
Bekal Fort, Kasaragod
"BEKAL - FORT, BEACH AND WATER PARK"
Bekal is the prime tourist spot of Kasaragod, thanks to the fort, beach and stunning views. The pride of the place is the fort, which is built over a headland that runs into the sea. Archaeologically speaking, it is a 400 year old key-hole shaped structure, built with defensive strategy in mind. It is the largest fort in Kerala, well preserved and nowadays managed by Archeological Survey. Bekal is 2.5 kms from Bekalfort Homestay .From Kasargod 16km and Kanhangad, the other regional town, is 11 kms from the fort.
"MADHUR TEMPLE"
Madhur temple is one of the most important places of worship in Kasaragod district. Regarded high for spiritual powers, the temple has two deities. The principal deity is Srimad Anantheswara (Lord Siva). So it is called Srimad Anantheswara Vinayaka temple. However, the more potent deity here is Ganapathy (Ganesh). Poojas (worship rituals) are performed thrice daily - at 8:00 A.M, 12:30 P.M and 8:00 P.M. Located by the side of a small river, Madhuvahini, the temple is attractive for its distinct architectural style.
Madhur Temple, Kasaragod
Malik deenar Mosque, Kasaragod
"MALIK DEENAR MOSQUE"
The Malik Ibn Dinar Mosque is situated at Thalankara, about one and a half km from Kasaragod town. This is one of the earliest mosques built in Malabar. It is believed to have been built by Malik Ibn Dinar, who is credited with the propagation of Islam in Kerala. The mosque, which resembles a palace built in the typical Kerala style of architecture, has two storeys and massive wooden beams. What one see’s today is not the original structure that Dinar constructed, Originally, it was a small structure with thatched roof.
"RANIPURAM HILL STATION"
If kottancherri disappoints you for the lack over overnight stay, the spot light should be on Ranipuram, where a few tourist cottages are available. Ranipuram has landscapes similar to Kottancherry. The jungle that continues to Karnataka is rich in wildlife. Elephant, leopard, boar, types of deer, civet cat, rare squirrels, different species of monkeys and a rich population of other animals, birds and butterflies are found here.
Ranipuram Hill Station
Posadigumpe
"POSADIGUMPE"
Posadigumpe is a hill top location that offers uninterrupted views of Arabian Sea, and regional towns such as Mangalore and Kudremukh. The views and the walks, that is all there is. A few hours, all to your self - Posadigumpe is just for that. Make sure to take some food / snacks since there are no shops around. At the base of the hill is Dharmathadka, which is about 25 KM north-east of Kasargod.
"CHANDRAGIRI FORT"
Just 3 kms south of Kasaragod, the fort is easy to reach. The fort was built in the 17th century. Similar to Bekal fort, it is also a defensive bastion built by laterite bricks. The fort is built on a hillock near Chandragiri River bank. The river curves in front of the fort, only to meet the sea soon after. Yes, the sight is pretty from the top. Chandragiri boat ride is another to do list item. The boat club offers rides to tourists. Chandragiri Bridge is the starting point of the rides.
Chandragiri Fort
Ananthapura Lake Temple
"ANANTHAPURA LAKE TEMPLE"
Set in the middle of a 2 acre pool, it is one and only lake temple in Kerala. A crocodile named Babia lives in the pool. A vegetarian crocodile! He survives on the food given to him by the temple! On the north east corner of the pool, there is a cave. It is a Vishnu temple. It is one of the two two Anantha Padmanabha Temples in Kerala. The other one is the famed Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple in Trivandrum. It is believed that Ananthaa Padmanabha Swamy (Lord Vishnu) settled at Ananthapura Lake Temple originally. Hence the temple is called a moolasthanam (original seat) of the Lord.
"ANANDASRAM"
Looking for a spiritual twist to your Kasaragod tour?
Anandasram, located 5 km from Kanhangad, is one of the choices. The spiritual retreat was founded by Swamy Ramdas in 1939.
Anandasram
Nityanandasramam
"NITYANANDASRAMAM"
Swami Nityananda founded the Ashram and lived here during his younger days. Using local workforce, he ingeniously carved out 43 caves from a laterite hill. These caves were meant for mediation. Swami also built a temple atop the hill. Its design resembled the famous Somanatha Temple of Gujarat. The Ashram is just in the outskirts of Kanhangad town.
"KAPPIL BEACH"
Solitude lovers, welcome! A stunning beach is waiting for you at Kappil, about 6 kms north of Bekal. Get to the top of the beach side hillock (Kodi cliff) for breathtaking views of the sea and surroundings.
Kappil Beach
Kanwatheertha Beach
"KANWATHEERTHA BEACH"
Kanwatheertha beach is a well liked coastal spot mainly because there is a lake like pool cut of from the sea. This pool, about half a km long, is great for swimming for adults and even kids. One of the fine beaches in the region, Kanwatheertha is about 4 kms. There are resorts and home stays near the beach. Kanwatheertha is only 3 kms from Manjeshwar, one of the regional towns. Kasaragod town is 15 kms to the south.
"NILESWARAM"
Surrounded by sea, rivers and hills, the landscape of Nileshwar is pretty.
The small town of Nileshwaram (also Nileshwar) is also highly held as the cultural centre of the region. The reasons are many – shrines, temple festivals, the folklore centre, theyyam, other folk arts, Kavil Yoga Centre..Great if you can have a glimpse of the festivals and arts. The beach is near and backwaters are known for great scenery around.
Nileswaram
Valiyaparamba Backwaters
"VALIYAPARAMBA BACKWATERS"
Boat rides to Valiyapramba start at Kottappuram. A couple of operators rent house boats. Valiyaparamba is an island, about 10 kms south of Nileshwar. The island is about 23 kms long. The backwater also came to be known by the name of the island. Vast backwaters, scenic shores and green islands – Valiaparamba is the future of North Kerala backwater tourism. If you can include only a couple of places in your Kasaragod tour, Valiyaparamba should be one.

Probably. Rains are less during the said time. Also visit the fort when it is not very sunny. You have a lot of distance to walk and it is better to not do when it is very hot.
