Tourist Places/Attractions in Kasaragod District
 
Chandragiri Fort, Kasaragod
 

The ancient and stunning Kizhur State Temple lies here, from where the idol is carried to Thrikkanaya Temple at Bekal during the yearly festival. In the vicinity of Chandragiri Fort, there also lies a mosque. Visitors are sure to get fascinated on sighting the alluring architecture of the bygone era. Chandragiri fort is said to have been built in the 17th century by Sivappa Nayak of Bednore, who established his authority over the area and built a chain of forts. The Chandragiri river, on the bank of which it rises, marked the traditional boundary between Kerala and the Tuluva Kingdom. You can have boat trips to the nearby Malik Dinar Mosque that had been founded by Malik Ibn Dinar, a disciple of Prophet Mohammad, who introduced Islam in Kerala. Chandragiri lies three kms south of Kasargod town.
