Known for its chain of forts built by Somashekara Nayak of Ikkeri dynasty, Hosdurg Fort is the landmark of Kanhangad in Kasaragod. Also known as Kanhangad Fort, the fort with its round bastions looks imposing from a distance. There is a famous temple attached to the fort, Karpooreshwara temple. The place was made well known by the Nithyanandasram, an internationally recognized spiritual Centre with 45 caves. Every year lots of tourist visits this beautiful fort.

Chandragiri Fort is a nice decent fort to visit in Kasaragod District of North Kerala. While not as large and well maintained like the Bekal Fort, it is quite impressive and the views below are pretty scenic too. Worth a short visit when travelling this side of the country. Fort provides best views to Chandragiri river joining to the sea surrounded by lush greenery.
