Trip to Talakaveri and Bekal Fort

Visited Talakaveri on 05-Jan-2014 with my friend. It is around 85 Km from the Kanhangad city, Kanhangad is located in Kasaragod district of kerala. Talakaveri  is located in Coorg district of Karnataka.

Its very good for one day trip. The location is not inhabited much and its very green and natural. There is a temple to visit. Entire journey is really good. The place is very cool even in the month of April. Last time I visited in April and this is my second visit. The roads are much better, but it is narrow once we crossed the Kerala border.

You feel the fresh and cool air at Talakaveri and it is an ideal place for a one day visit any time during the year. May be rainy season it will be a little difficult to travel otherwise its good.

Another location to visit nearby Kanhangad is Bekal fort. 
You can visit Talakaveri  in the morning and in the after noon visit Bekal fort and enjoy the sunset from the Bekal Beach or from the fort itself.
There is separate entrance fees for Bekal Fort and Beach . You can reach Bekal from Kanhangad on the way to Kasaragod. You can come by road or by train. There is a Bekal railway station. But only very less trains stop there. Currently all passenger trains and also Malabar express stops in this railway station. 
By bus it is well connected. There are lot of bus from Kanhangad as well as from Kasaragod.
