Overview
This bekal fort beach tour package kerala covers six days across the north Kerala arc that most packaged itineraries never reach. Bekal Fort in Kasaragod is the largest fort in Kerala — 40 acres of laterite walls built around 1650 AD, nearly three quarters of its exterior surrounded by water on the Arabian Sea headland. Kannur is the handloom district where over 13,000 weavers work across cooperative societies, and Wayanad adds the forest and cave layer at the start. This bekal fort beach tour package kerala strings three genuinely different characters of north Kerala into a single six-day route.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme for this bekal fort beach tour package kerala from Kochi Airport arrival. The private AC Innova Crysta covers all road transfers throughout. Five nights deluxe hotel accommodation — two at Wayanad, one at Kannur, two at Bekal — daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis throughout. Edakkal Caves entry, Bekal Fort entry, all sightseeing transfers as per the itinerary are included. The per person cost of this bekal fort beach tour package kerala is ₹22,700.

This bekal fort beach tour package kerala begins at Kochi Airport where the Bon Voyagers representative meets the group. The drive from Kochi to Wayanad covers approximately 280 kilometres through the Western Ghats foothills, climbing from the Kozhikode side into the cooler Wayanad plateau. The road gains altitude steadily and the temperature drops by the time the vehicle reaches Vythiri or Kalpetta. Wayanad sits between 700 and 2,100 metres across its various zones.
The first evening is free — the hotel property at Wayanad, forest edge or coffee estate views, is part of the arrival experience. Dinner at the hotel. Overnight at Wayanad.
Day 2 of this bekal fort beach tour package kerala covers the two Wayanad sites that anchor the district's offbeat identity. Edakkal Caves near Sulthan Bathery sit on the Ambukuthi hills approximately 25 kilometres from Kalpetta — a moderate uphill walk of 45 to 60 minutes leads to a natural rock shelter with pictorial carvings estimated between 3,000 and 6,000 years old, the only known Stone Age petroglyphs in South India.
The afternoon is Pookode Lake — a natural freshwater lake at around 770 metres inside forest cover. The morning light on Pookode before the day-trip crowd arrives is worth the early start. Overnight at Wayanad.
Day 3 of this bekal fort beach tour package kerala is the Wayanad to Kannur drive — approximately 115 kilometres from Kalpetta and taking around two hours. Kannur is known across Kerala and beyond as the handloom district — the Kanhirode Weavers Cooperative Society, 13 kilometres east of Kannur city, is one of over 70 active weaving cooperatives in the district and is open to visitors. The sound of working looms and the rhythm of the weavers on their frames is something that no photograph explains adequately.
The afternoon covers Fort St. Angelo — the Portuguese fort built in 1505 on a rocky promontory facing the Arabian Sea, one of Kerala's earliest colonial structures. Overnight at Kannur.
Day 4 of this bekal fort beach tour package kerala is the drive from Kannur to Bekal — approximately 78 kilometres north through Kasaragod district. The afternoon arrival at Bekal gives the group a first look at the fort from outside before the Day 5 full visit. Bekal Fort sits on a rocky headland approximately 14 kilometres south of Kasaragod town — the laterite walls rise to around 12 metres and the keyhole shape of the fortification is visible from the beach approach.
Kappil Beach, approximately 7 kilometres from the fort, is where the Kappil River meets the Arabian Sea — a backwater estuary with boat rides available locally. Evening at the Bekal beach stretch adjacent to the fort. Overnight at Bekal.
Day 5 is the full Bekal day of this bekal fort beach tour package kerala. The fort opens at 8 AM and the morning hour before the day-trip groups arrive from Mangalore and Kasaragod is the right time to be inside. Bekal Fort spans 40 acres and includes the observation tower, the water tank with its stepped approach, the ammunition magazine, the zigzag entrance passage and the rampart walkway — nearly three quarters of the outer wall has water on the other side.
The view of the Arabian Sea from the observation tower, with the fort walls curving away below, is one of the more striking heritage views in Kerala. The afternoon is Chandragiri Fort — approximately 7 kilometres from Bekal — a smaller riverside fort at the confluence of the Chandragiri River and the sea. Overnight at Bekal.
The final day of this bekal fort beach tour package kerala is the return drive to Kochi. The distance from Bekal to Kochi covers approximately 470 kilometres and takes between 7 and 8 hours — the Bon team plans the Day 6 schedule around the confirmed departure flight time at the time of booking.
Travellers with evening flights have a Bekal morning before departure — the beach adjacent to the fort at low tide, the Ananthapura Lake Temple approximately 30 kilometres from Bekal if time allows, or a final walk on the Kappil estuary bank. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops at Kochi Airport. This bekal fort beach tour package kerala ends here.

Best Time to Visit
October to March is recommended for this Wayanad-Kannur-Bekal route. The Wayanad section is most accessible after the monsoon from October onwards with clearer skies on the Edakkal trail, while the Bekal coastline is calmest between November and February. The Kannur coast and Kappil estuary boat rides are weather-dependent and affected by rough sea conditions during the June to September monsoon, which restricts coastal activity across north Kerala.
