Highlights

1. Spectacular beach destination

Everything about Bekal is spellbinding. The 300 year old Bekal Fort exuding an irresistible old world charm. Enchanting landscapes of beaches, backwaters and hill stations. Mesmerising art forms. Magical traditions... This quiet little seaside village in the northernmost district of Kerala has every ingredient that would go into the creation of an international standard beach destination.

Rich cultural heritage to Kasaragod

Kasaragod, the maritime district, was once the gateway to the Malabar Coast for seaferers from the world over. Foreign trade and invasions down the centuries left the land with a rich cosmopolitan culture. Besides an eventful history, Kasaragod also boasts a tradition of vibrant art forms. Theyyam, the oldest and most spectacular ritual art form of India was born here.

Bekal enjoys the advantages of Kerala

Making Bekal even more exclusive is that it is backed by all the intrinsic advantages of Kerala - God’s Own Country. Kerala is the breathtakingly beautiful land at the southwestern tip of India that enjoys unique geographic features, a pleasant climate and a rich cultural heritage. Besides, Kerala is also well connected to the rest of the world - Three international airports, good railway network (now with the Konkan railway line, Bombay will be just 15 hours from Bekal) and modern communication facilities.

Excellent healthcare systems,100% literacy and more make Kerala India’s most advanced State with the highest physical quality of life index.

In this new millennium, Kerala is expected to have over four lakh international arrivals every year. And over fifty lakh domestic arrivals. Most tourists who visit Kerala come to experience the cultural ethos of the land and the varied attractions. The state offers the charm of the hill stations, the adventure of the tropical jungles, the excitement of the sun-drenched beaches, the enchantment of the backwaters, the rejuvenating Ayurvedic regimens and of course, a rich repertoire of monuments, museums, arts, crafts and year round colourful festivals. Truly making it a land where the season never ends.

Bekal. The right locale for mega tourism development.

A Special Tourism Area scheme was developed by the Government of India to attract investments in lesser known destinations which had immense potential to be developed as major beach destinations. Bekal was identified as one such exclusive area. Many breathtaking virgin beaches,an imposing fort of historical significance by the main beach, calm and  peaceful ambience, warm friendly enterprising people, two airports within about 140 km... and acres of beautiful land that holds unlimited promise of development.

Besides designing futuristic infrastructure, efforts are on to ensure Bekal remains green, pristine and inviting. For this purpose, BRDC will ensure development as per environment parameters at all stages of development. An extensive environment management programme that includes water management and waste disposal methods using eco-friendly technology has also been designed, keeping in line with the eco friendly policy of the project.

The first phase of land development i.e. levelling of ground, fencing, lighting etc., is complete and 76 hectares out of the total 137 sq. km verdant landscape is ready to be handed over as six sites - each with its own unique attraction. These sites of virgin waterside land and beach front are fenced to keep encroachment or disputes at bay. And all of them lie within 15 - 20 km of the Bekal Fort with well maintained roads that lead to the National Highway.

At these resort sites, tourism related infrastructure will be regulated by exacting standards which will check the mushrooming of inferior quality establishments. Backed by BRDC at every stage of development to ensure that Bekal will grow as planned.
