The fort was built 300 years ago which in itself enhances the enthusiasm of every visitor.<\/p>\n<p>Constructed by the great King Shivappa Nayak, the fort served as the residing place for several rulers of the future generations as well. There are theories suggesting that the fort was used by Sultans and Britishers as a stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>While the original work was done by Shivappa Nayak, every new ruler added small elements to their reign which makes the present-day fort even more charming. Representing a blend of different era architectural styles, Bekal Fort is a beauty worth exploring.<\/p>\n<div class=\"trending\">\n<div class=\"trending-title\"><strong>Suggested Packages for Kerala:<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"list-tag\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/4-night-5-days-kerala-houseboat-backwater.html\">5 Days Kerala Backwater Trip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/10-days-kerala-tour-itinerary.html\">10 Days Kerala Tour Package<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/7-nights-8-days-kerala-itinerary.html\">Kerala Package 7 Nights 8 Days<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/5-nights-6-days-kerala-tour-itinerary.html\">6 Days Kerala Travel Itinerary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/goa-kerala-tour-itinerary.html\">11 Days Goa Kerala Trip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/6-nights-7-days-kerala-itinerary.html\">Kerala Tour for 7 Days<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/3-nights-4-days-munnar-alleppey-itinerary.html\">4 Dyas Munnar Alleppey Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/kerala-tours\/\">Check Kerala More Itineraries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bekal-fort-kerala-%e2%80%93-architecture\"><\/span>Bekal Fort, Kerala &#8211; Architecture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Standing to a magnificent height of 130 feet and covering a whopping 40 acres of area, Bekal Fort is majestic in all aspects. Shaped like a giant keyhole with impressive zigzag patterned stairs on the outside, it represents the smartness of builders at that time. As the fort served as a place for defense primarily, the construction exhibits several elements from the tactics and strategies of the rulers who contributed to the making of the fort.<\/p>\n<p>As you stand in front of the fort, you are left amazed by its 12-meter height walls on an average and tactically planned opening that probably offers a view of enemies. There is a separate observation tower that was designed to keep an eye on enemies as it features multiple peepholes. When you observe these peepholes closely you can see a pattern where the topmost served as an attacking point for enemies at a distance, the lower ones were used for enemies who have stepped closer to the fort.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"discovering-bekal-fort-your-journey-begins-here\"><\/span>Discovering Bekal Fort: Your Journey Begins Here<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"things-to-explore-bekal-fort\"><\/span>Things to Explore Bekal Fort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Observation Tower<\/strong>&#8211; The tower serves as the focal point of attraction in the fort. Each aspect of the observation tower represents the clever strategies of rulers at that point. A close look at the building makes you realize how rulers used architectural technology to their advantage and won several wars even in lack of actual technology and developed weapons. Located in the middle of the fort it stands at a height of 30 feet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The mosque and Anjaneya Temple<\/strong>&#8211; What leaves you in awe of the Bekal Fort is the presence of both temple and a mosque in its complex. As the fort was under the rule of both Hindu and Islamic rulers, their religious beliefs were respected and kept intact. The Anjaneya Temple is devoted to Lord Hanuman and the Mosque was a work of Tipu Sultan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passages<\/strong>&#8211; Underground passages were the finest weapon that rulers in the 15-16th century possessed. You can explore these underground passages that connect different regions. While most of them are closed for safety reasons, you are welcome to take a walk inside two passages connecting the whole fort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sunset and the sea bastion<\/strong>&#8211; Once you are done exploring the architectural glory of the Bekal fort, it is time to take in its beauty.
