Bekal Fort, which stands on a 35 acre headland that runs into the Arabiansea,
is the largest and best preserved fort in the State.

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.

most
scenic backwater stretch in Kerala.Fed by four rivers and dotted with numerous

resort that offers enchanting boat cruises.
