Bekal Fort

Continuation from my previous post

Bekal fort is one of the biggest forts of Kerala. It was constructed in 17th century on the beach of Arabian sea. it is currently under the maintenance of Archeological Survey of India (ASI). The nearest town to stay is either Kanhangad or Nileshwar, which are 10 KM from 20 KM south of Bekal respectively. Kerala Govt has also started Bekal resort development corp which was still not ready when we went.

Just beside fort, there is Bekal park and Bekal beach. There are entrance fees, but all are very nominal. Very nice bathroom facilities are available for after beach bath at Bekal Part.

Enjoy few pics

Good Snaps. Kasorgod district consists of lot many things apart from bekal fort & beach. Ranipuram hillstation....a good spot for trekking lovers, Overnight cruise(boat house).....not exactly remembered the place name, it will be nearly 10KM south to Kanhangad & famous mathur ganapathi temple in Kasorgod.
