Kasaragod Travel
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.
With its unique natural and cultural attractions 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.
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.
