Bekal with Kids — Family Travel Guide
Kerala, India · 10m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 3–14 — the fort tunnels, watchtowers, and backwater rides are genuine draws. Skip midday visits because the heat at sea level will exhaust young children; go early morning instead. The steep fort steps rule out strollers, so leave it behind and carry extra water.
