Kasaragod Travel Guide
Kasaragod is known as the land of gods, forts, rivers, hills and beautiful
beaches. The Bekal Fort, which stands on a 35 acre headland that runs into the
Arabiansea, is the largest and best preserved fort in the State.
The northern most district of Kerala, Kasaragod is situated on the sea coast
bordered by hilly Kodagu and Mangalore districts of Karnataka in the east and
north. Fishing is a prime source of livelihood along with the coir and handloom
industries.
Pallikere (Beach)
This shallow beach offers a spectacular view of the fort, and has ample facilities
for recreation and relaxation (1 km from Bekal Fort).
Kappil (Beach)
Remote
and secluded, this beach is fast becoming a major tourist attraction. The Kodi
cliff nearby offers a panoramic view of the Arabian sea (6 km from Fort)
Valiyaparamba (Backwater)
(30 km from Bekal): This is perhaps the most scenic backwater stretch in Kerala.
Fed by four rivers and dotted with numerous little islands, Valiyaparamba is
fast turning into a much favoured backwater resort that offers enchanting boat
cruises.
Chandragiri Cruises (Backwater)
Boat trips to nearby islands and palm groves. Boarding point: Chandragiri bridge.
Situated on the Chandragiri River, south east of Kasaragod town, this town is
known for its large 17th century fort built by Sivappa Naik of Bedanore. The
Chandragiri fort, one of a chain of forts built by the same ruler, offers a
breathtaking view of the river and the Arabian sea. It is a vintage point to
watch the sunset.
