Kasaragod

Best season Oct – Mar · hubs: Bekal, Neeleshwaram · North Malabar

Kerala's northernmost coast — Bekal's laterite fort, mirrored lagoons and unhurried fishing villages.

Kerala's northernmost district is its least hurried: laterite forts above the surf, mirrored estuaries behind the shore, and a Kannada-Malayalam borderland culture in the hills. Bekal is the headline; the pleasure is how empty everything around it feels.
