Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” He surely knew what he was talking about, because a brush with nature in all its glory can change life’s perspective and answer unsolved mysteries. Trying to untangle one such mystery is a quaint town on the western coast of Kerala.
Bekal is a hidden gem with a rich past, God-given golden beaches, majestic forts, tough mountains, and graceful rivers.
A fortified Experience
The myriad stories of Bekal are preserved in its numerous forts, the most prominent of those being, The Bekal Fort. Almost 300 years old, the fort still stands tall in all its glory. It is probably one of the best-preserved ancient relics in the country. Another 17th-century fort in the vicinity is The Chandragiri Fort. Unlike its predecessor, this one is mostly in ruins but depicts a story of war, siege, and victory.
The Calming Waters
If the forts leave you mesmerized, then the beaches will make you squeal in awe. You can kick start this amazing sojourn with a visit to the Bekal Fort Beach. This charming white sand beach is lined with palm trees that make it a heavenly spot. There is a rock garden that shadows the beach and is a sight to behold.

Over to the Kappil Beach next, only about 6 kilometers from the Bekal Fort. A pristine beach with sun-kissed glitter will make you want to set base here forever. And, how can one talk about Kerala and not mention its iconic backwaters? The Valiyaparamba Backwaters in Bekal is arguably one of the most scenic in the state. It is best to be on a houseboat to enjoy this panoramic view.
Gobble it up!
No exploration or discovery is complete without food. With its range of unique flavors and distinct tastes, the south of India is a completely novel experience for food enthusiasts. The Lalit Resort and Spa, Bekal has been able to capture the taste and quality of Kerala’s cuisine in all its glory. Nombili is the place to be if you want to get a taste of authentic local cuisine.
Pampered Indulgence
Kerala is also a land known for its ayurvedic treatments. Rejuve-The Spa is the perfect spot for that authentic therapy. With trained professionals and herbal ingredients, it is a truly authentic Ayurvedic treatment experience.
At Par
Pampering has different definitions for different people. If the spa does the trick for you, doesn’t mean it will for others. How about a round of golf? We know golf is a serious business, but it is also one of the most loved hobbies, The Lalit Resort and Spa Bekal has a course of its own.
Bekal may not be a virgin spot yet, but it has immense potential. Unexplored beaches and backwaters aren’t the only draw for national and international tourists here. The limitless hospitality of The Lalit has added weight to this jeel destination which is slowly becoming a premium tourist attraction in India.
