A majestic seaside fort and unspoilt beaches on Kerala's serene northern Malabar coast
On the quiet northern shores of Kerala, Bekal is crowned by one of India's most striking sea forts — the vast, keyhole-shaped Bekal Fort, rising above the Arabian Sea. Our Bekal tour packages combine this historic landmark with unspoilt Malabar beaches, tranquil backwaters and the rich culture of the Kannur-Kasaragod region. Far quieter than the southern resorts, it's a place of wide horizons, sea breezes and genuine calm. With Kannur airport nearby, this off-the-beaten-track corner is an easy, rewarding addition to a north Kerala journey.
Arrive into Kannur and transfer to Bekal. Settle in, then explore the great keyhole-shaped Bekal Fort and its sweeping sea views at sunset.
Relax on Bekal and Kappil beaches, then take a peaceful boat ride through the Bekal backwaters and lagoons.
Discover Theyyam country and the Nileshwaram region, and visit Chandragiri Fort and river for history and gentle boating.
Enjoy a final coastal morning, or head inland to the Ranipuram hills, before transferring to Kannur for departure or onward travel.

Bekal offers a very different, unhurried side of Kerala. Its magnificent sea fort is the star, but the region also rewards with empty beaches, quiet backwaters and the vivid Theyyam culture of the Malabar coast. Far from the tourist trail, it's perfect for travellers seeking heritage, calm and authenticity.
Bekal Fort is the largest in Kerala and among the most photogenic in India. Highlights include:
The northern Malabar coast is beautifully unspoilt. Bekal and Kappil beaches offer long, quiet sands ideal for sunset walks, while the Bekal backwaters provide a peaceful, crowd-free alternative to the southern lagoons. Inland, the Ranipuram hills add a green, cool contrast for those wanting a short trek.
The nearest airport is Kannur (CNN), around 1.5 hours away; Mangaluru and Kozhikode (CCJ) are alternatives. Kasaragod, close by, is the nearest major railway station on the scenic coastal line. We arrange comfortable private transfers throughout the region for you.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
