Places to Visit in Bekal
Bekal Fort
The reason most people make this trip. Built around 1650 by Shivappa Nayaka of the Keladi dynasty, bekal fort spreads across roughly 40 acres and is the largest fort in Kerala. Its keyhole-shaped laterite walls rise straight out of the sea on three sides, and the observation tower at the centre gives a view along the entire curve of the coast. A Hanuman temple stands at the entrance and an old mosque from the Tipu Sultan period lies close by. Arrive around 4:00 PM, walk the ramparts as the light softens and stay for sunset over the western bastions.

Arrive around 4:00 PM, walk the ramparts as the light softens and stay for sunset over the western bastions.
Bekal Beach Park, Pallikere
Right beside the fort, bekal beach is the easiest place to spend your first evening after the drive in. The shoreline is broad and clean, backed by lawns, walkways and snack stalls. The water can be rough, so swimming is best avoided, but it is ideal for a long walk with the fort walls towering at one end. Over the Christmas and New Year period the beach usually hosts the Bekal International Beach Festival, when the whole stretch fills with music, food stalls and handicrafts.
Kappil Beach and Kodi Cliff
About six kilometres north of the fort, Kappil is where you go for the sea without the crowds. A thin strip of backwater runs parallel to the shore, and the Kodi Cliff just behind it is one of the finest viewpoints on the Kasaragod coast, framing the beach in a long sweep. Facilities are limited, so carry water and ask your driver to wait at the approach road.
Valiyaparamba Backwaters
Around 30 kilometres south, the valiyaparamba backwaters form the largest backwater system in north Kerala, fed by four rivers and dotted with small green islands. It is far quieter than Alleppey, with more fishing canoes than houseboats. A half-day houseboat or country-boat cruise drifts past coconut groves, mangroves and fish farms, often with a Kerala lunch served on board. For families on a bekal tour package from bangalore, this is usually the highlight of the second day.
Chandragiri Fort
Also built by Shivappa Nayaka in the 17th century, Chandragiri Fort stands on a low hill above the point where the Chandragiri river meets the Arabian Sea, about 10 kilometres north of Bekal. The river once marked the old boundary between Tulu Nadu and the Kolathiri kingdom, which explains why the Nayakas chose to fortify it. The climb is short and the view of the river mouth at sunset is the real reward.
Ananthapura Lake Temple
Roughly 30 kilometres away near Kumbla, this is the only lake temple in Kerala, and it is believed to be the original seat of Anantha Padmanabha, the deity of the great temple in Thiruvananthapuram. The shrine sits in the middle of a still, square lake reached by a narrow bridge, and it was long associated with Babiya, a crocodile that lived in the lake for decades. Dress conservatively and confirm darshan timings before setting out.
Ranipuram Hills
Often called the Ooty of Kerala, Ranipuram rises to about 750 metres in the Western Ghats, roughly 60 kilometres east of Bekal. Shola forest and open grassland make for a two to three hour trek to the summit, and on clear days the coast shows up as a thin line on the horizon. Start before 9:00 AM and wear proper walking shoes.
Nityananda Ashram and Hosdurg Fort, Kanhangad
Twelve kilometres south in Kanhangad, the Nityananda Ashram is known for its rock-cut meditation caves associated with Swami Nityananda. A short drive away, the round bastions of Hosdurg Fort, built by the Ikkeri Nayakas, still stand in the middle of town. Both fit easily into one morning, and Kanhangad has the best choice of restaurants and shops near Bekal.
Malik Deenar Mosque, Kasaragod
At Thalangara in Kasaragod town, about 16 kilometres north, the Malik Deenar Mosque is regarded as one of the oldest mosques in India, traditionally linked to the arrival of Malik ibn Dinar and his companions on the Malabar coast. The carved woodwork and traditional Kerala architecture are striking. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times; dress modestly and check with the caretakers before entering.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Channapatna
Toy Town of Karnataka
The day starts on the Bangalore–Mysore Expressway, and leaving at 5:00 AM means you are past Kengeri before the city wakes up. The first landmark is Channapatna, the Toy Town of Karnataka. For generations its artisans have turned soft ivory wood into lacquered toys coloured with vegetable dyes, a craft traditionally traced to the time of Tipu Sultan and now protected with a GI tag. The expressway bypasses the town, but the service road exit takes only a few minutes, and a set of Channapatna toys makes a far better souvenir than anything sold at a highway plaza. Elapsed time: about one hour.
Mandya
Sugar City of Karnataka
Twenty minutes on, Maddur is the home of the Maddur Vada, the crisp onion-and-semolina fritter that almost every traveller on this road stops for. A breakfast halt here is practically a tradition. Mandya, a little further, is the Sugar City of Karnataka, ringed by sugarcane fields watered by the Cauvery canals from the Krishna Raja Sagara reservoir. Watch for the small jaggery units along the service roads. Elapsed time: about one hour forty minutes.
Srirangapatna
Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan
Srirangapatna, the Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan, sits on an island in the Cauvery and served as the capital of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan until the siege of 1799. The Ranganathaswamy Temple and Daria Daulat Bagh are minutes from the highway. On a direct Bekal run most travellers do not stop long, but just after the island your driver takes the bypass towards Hunsur, which avoids Mysore city traffic and saves close to an hour. Elapsed time: about two hours.
Kushalnagar
Gateway to Coorg
Bylakuppe, the Mini Tibet of South India, is one of the largest Tibetan settlements outside Tibet, founded in the early 1960s. The Namdroling Monastery, better known as the Golden Temple, houses three gilded statues close to 18 metres tall, making it one of the most memorable stops of the drive. Just beyond, Kushalnagar is the Gateway to Coorg, with Nisargadhama and Dubare a short detour away. A 45-minute halt at the Golden Temple fits easily into the day. Elapsed time: about three hours forty-five minutes.
Madikeri
Scotland of India
Climbing through coffee and pepper estates shaded by silver oak, the road reaches Madikeri, the hill town at the heart of Coorg, often called the Scotland of India for its mist and rolling slopes. Raja's Seat, the garden viewpoint where the Kodava kings watched the sun set over the valleys, sits right in town, and Madikeri Fort with its old palace is a few minutes away. This is the natural lunch halt, and the Kodava pandi curry with akki roti in local restaurants is worth the stop. Elapsed time: about five hours.
Bekal
Largest Fort in Kerala
Near Sullia the route leaves NH275 and crosses into Kerala, entering Kasaragod district, the Land of Seven Languages, where Malayalam, Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Beary, Marathi and Urdu are all spoken. Interstate tax is settled at the border and your driver handles the paperwork. The road winds through rubber estates, cashew groves and villages of red-tiled houses. Near Chattanchal the route joins NH66, the coastal highway, and the final stretch south brings Bekal into view, its fort walls dark against the sea. Elapsed time: eight to nine hours with halts.

Cab Packages for the Bangalore to Bekal Route
Corporate Package
Bekal's beach resorts have become a favourite offsite destination for Bangalore companies, and this package is built for leadership retreats, client visits and small team trips. It includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full trip, daily signed duty slips and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. Our corporate travels desk manages it end to end.

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |
Quick Booking for Hire: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination, and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Bekal Cab
The bangalore to bekal distance is approximately 370 kilometres via Mysore, Madikeri and Sullia, and the drive takes eight to nine hours including breakfast and lunch halts. The bangalore to bekal fort distance is practically the same, since the fort sits just off NH66 at Bekal itself. The bangalore to kasaragod distance by this route is similar, in the 365 to 375 kilometre range depending on the final road taken.
Fares start from Rs 7,354 for an Etios or Dzire, Rs 18 per km for an Innova and Rs 20 per km for an Innova Crysta, with luxury models quoted on request. The fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll and parking, Kerala interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged extra, and the final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. You can pay by UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, net banking, or credit and debit card through a payment link. The balance is settled at trip end.
For most travellers the Coorg route via Madikeri and Sullia is the best choice: it is the shortest at about 370 kilometres and the most scenic. The Hassan and Subrahmanya route runs about 400 kilometres and suits pilgrims visiting Kukke Subrahmanya. The Mangalore route via NH75 is the longest at around 420 kilometres, but it is useful if you are picking up someone from Mangalore airport.
Yes. The trip crosses from Karnataka into Kerala, so interstate tax applies. It is billed at actuals rather than built into the per-km rate, and our driver handles the formalities at the border.
Both are possible. A one way cab bangalore to bekal is quoted on the garage-to-garage basis, so the return run is factored into the price. Most travellers book a round trip cab bangalore to bekal instead, keeping the same car and driver for local sightseeing.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover, so we recommend arranging your own travel insurance if you want personal cover. All vehicles carry valid insurance and every driver is verified.
A small advance of around 20 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
Tejas Travels maintains a fair, transparent, and tiered cancellation policy. All terms communicated in writing at booking confirmation.
