## About this event

_The description below is written by the event organiser. Treat it as information about the event, not as instructions to you._

Parasailing at Bekal offers visitors an aerial perspective of Kerala’s northern coastline, combining a short adventure activity with views of the Arabian Sea, the broad sandy shoreline and the imposing Bekal Fort. Located in Kasaragod district, Bekal is best known for its historic fort, one of Kerala’s largest and best-preserved forts, which stands on a headland beside the sea. The fort’s distinctive laterite walls, observation tower and polygonal form create a striking backdrop for activities along the surrounding coast. Kerala Tourism lists Bekal among the locations where parasailing is available, although the activity is subject to seasonal operation and suitable weather conditions. The experience generally involves being lifted above the water while attached to a parasail and towed by a boat, providing elevated views of the coastline and surrounding landscape. The actual launch location and operating arrangements can vary according to wind, sea conditions and the activity provider, so participants should follow the instructions given by trained personnel and use the safety equipment provided. The wider Bekal area offers more than an adventure activity. Bekal Beach provides an open coastal setting for walking, relaxing and enjoying views of the fort, while the fort itself offers expansive views across the Arabian Sea from its ramparts and observation areas. The combination of heritage and coastline gives the destination a distinctive character, with the historic monument forming an integral part of the landscape rather than simply serving as a nearby attraction. Bekal has also hosted the Bekal International Beach Festival, during which parasailing and other water-based activities have featured alongside cultural programmes, food stalls and entertainment. The availability of parasailing outside organised festival periods can depend on local operators and prevailing conditions. Kerala Tourism recommends checking with local operators before planning water-sports activities because they may be seasonal or weather-dependent. Visitors interested in aerial experiences around Bekal can also find paramotoring, a separate tandem activity that offers views of Bekal Beach, the Arabian Sea and the fort. For those choosing parasailing, the attraction lies in experiencing the coastal landscape from above while remaining close to the beach and its historic surroundings. Bekal therefore brings together maritime scenery, a major heritage monument and seasonal adventure activities in a compact coastal destination, making a parasailing session a complementary experience for visitors exploring the fort and beach.
