If you thought Kerala is only about natural beauty, the Bekal Fort will make
you change your opinion. Spread across a sprawling 40 acres of land, the fort
is the largest in the region. A large part of the fort is in dilapidated
condition since the waves from the sea continually hit against the walls of the
fort. However, despite that, it is a beautiful fort which tells you a lot about
the old times. Unlike other forts in several parts of the country, the Bekal
Fort was not an administrative centre. There are no palaces or halls within the
fort. Instead, it was exclusively used to store ammunition and for defense
purposes. A visit to the fort is somewhat a mystical experience, as you explore
the abandoned passages of it. Do not miss the views of the town you get from
the fort. They are mesmerizing, especially on an overcast day.
