Allow us to show you the best things to do in Bekal.
MALIK DEENAR MOSQUE
Among the places to see in Bekal is the mosque, which was built in 624 AD in the ancient Kerala style of architecture. Most intrig...uing is the fact that the architecture is akin to that of a temple. The trademark dome that graces the tops of other Indian mosques is absent with a tiled roof similar to Indian temples taking its place.
Distance: 14 km
TAKE HOME A KASARGOD MASTERPIECE
The glorious, hand-woven Kasaragod sari has been around for ages. Although known for their rich colours and heritage designs, the ...production of these saris is now a dying tradition, with very few looms now making these hand-crafted pieces of art. An enriching, unmissable experience when you stay at Taj Bekal Resort & Spa.

DISCOVER THE BACKWATERS
Take a kayak through palm-fringed waters of the Kappil River and glide your way through tranquil waters punctuated only by the sou...nds of nature. Take a sunrise or sunset paddle in cooler temperatures and witness an abundance of wildlife. These legendary backwaters are one of the most popular places to visit in Bekal.

BUY BRONZE BEAUTIES
Shopping for bronze is one of the best things to do in Bekal. Kerala is renowned for its handmade bronze artefacts and utensils. B...ronze, known as odu, is expertly fashioned into lamps, valkannadi (hand-held mirrors) and uruli (a wide, shallow cooking vessel). Depending on the complexity and skill involved, these items can command relatively high prices.

The temple rises grandly against the serene landscape of the Madhuvahini River, where you can take a cleansing dip. Easily one of the most majestic places to visit in Bekal.

BEKAL FORT
The imposing Bekal Fort is among the largest and best-preserved forts in Kerala and, according to our guests, one of the best thin...gs to do in Bekal.
