Kasaragod Attractions

Kasaragod is a district in northern Kerala bounded by the Western Ghats to the east and Arabian Sea to the west. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word for 'land of lakes' which refers to the twelve rivers flowing across its terrain.

Kasaragod has a large Muslim population and it is noted for the many mosques. As it develops into a tourist destination, Kasaragod also offers engaging temples and beautiful beaches.

The cultural heritage of Kasaragod is found in the famous art forms of Yakshagana, Bombe-yattu and Theyyam. The art forms of pulikkali and oppana are added to many of the festivals and celebrations.
