400 Years, Same Walls, More Green.📍 Bekal Fort, Kasaragod#bekalfort #bekal #keralatourism #fort

This is Bekal Fort in Monsoon 🌿🏰 Built in 1650 by Shivappa Nayaka of Keladi, this is the largest and best-preserved fort in Kerala - spread over 40 acres right into the Arabian Sea. No palace inside, only pure defence. Zig-zag entrance, secret tunnels, observation tower and those huge laterite walls you see in the video. This walkway in my video is the main path inside the fort - in monsoon it turns fully green like this. And yes, this is where Mani Ratnam shot "Tu Hi Re" from Bombay movie 🎥 📍 Bekal Fort, Kasaragod - 16km from Kasaragod town ⏰ 8 AM to 6:30 PM #bekalfort Bekal Fort, Kasaragod | Kerala's Largest Sea Fort Bekal Fort is the biggest fort in Kerala, built in 1650 AD by Shivappa Nayaka.
