Kerala
Kasaragod
Bekal, Neeleshwar and Valiyaparamba
The far north of Kerala, closer to Mangalore than to anywhere else in the state, where Malayalam, Tulu, Kannada and Beary are all spoken. Its coast is among the least built on in Kerala.
It suits a second visit to Kerala better than a first, and rewards people who like the feeling of having gone further than they needed to.
- When to go
- November to March.
- How long to stay
- Three or four nights; it is a long way to come for less.
- Getting there
- Kannur airport to Bekal is 75 km, about two hours. Mangalore airport is about an hour and a half away.
