Things to see and do India

Part of the palace of the only Muslim royal family in Kerala, the Arakkal family, has been converted into a museum. You can admire furniture and objects that belonged to them. Dispensable.

Ancient city founded by the Tughlaq dynasty at the beginning of the th century. The fortress is only a few ruins. On the other side of the road is the wall tomb of the sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, which evokes more a fortress than a funeral monument… and is reminiscent of the rather harsh manners of the time. The sultan was reportedly murdered by his own son in 1325.

The largest fort in Kerala is located near the beautiful beach of Bekal. Built in the 17th century, it is composed of a circular structure and flows into the Arabian Sea. A temple dedicated to the monkey god Hanuman is located at the entrance and a mosque built by Tipa Sultan of Mysore is nearby. Many Bollywood films have been shot there to enjoy its imposing beauty. From the top of its ramparts, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the coconut-lined beaches, fishing boats and the surrounding mosques.

Built in 1505 by the Portuguese, this imposing fort is one of the monuments protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. To access it, you have to go through a military zone. The fort is in good condition and very well maintained, with beautiful gardens and a beautiful view of the Arabian Sea. You can see a chapel, the soldiers' barracks, an old oil lamp lighthouse, and many cannons. Don't miss the stone engraved in Dutch with a pirate symbol. His visit is a pleasant walk.

Located a few kilometers from Sultan Bathery, the caves of Eddakal contain narcotic petroglyphs, remnants of a civilization that lived here about 6,000 years ago BC! It is accessed by a kilometer, lined with shops and shops of all kinds. Once arrived at the counter, there is a fairly hard climb to cross to enter the only cave open to the public. It's best to visit it at morning times when there is less traffic and also to enjoy spectacular views of the valley.

Once known as Elk Falls, remarkable falls where you can swim, located 6 km north of the city.

These spectacular waterfalls are 8 km away. A permit is required to access the road that leads to it, it must be requested from the District Forest Office. You can also enjoy a sumptuous view of the falls from Dolphin's Nose.

A botanical garden on the heights of Coonoor, which houses more than 1 000 species of plants, including magnolias, camellias and pine trees. The main attraction is the fruit and vegetable show which takes place every year in May.

A pretty lake with a wide variety of fish and affected. The natural reserve is filled with tigers, hyenas, black gazelles and many bird species.

You will find a crocodile farm and a ornithological reserve around this dam. Possibility to take a boat tour. This area is part of the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary established in 2010.

This is where the Thejaswini River flows into the Arabian Sea. A long white sandy beach still little exploited by tourism, there is a calm atmosphere conducive to solitude.

This park dedicated to the preservation and protection of snakes has many species, including royal cobra, Russell vipers, and pythons, but also some mammals. Unfortunately, it is not very well maintained and some animals make a little trouble seeing… a show that can shock the sensitive souls.
