Thaira View Point
Thaira View Point is a hidden gem located in the Chattanchal region, offering one of the most expansive views of the Kasaragod hinterlands. Unlike the coastal attractions of Bekal, this spot takes you into the heart of the rolling hills and lush valleys. The view point is situated near the Amarapur i Temple and provides a vantage point from which you can see the winding rivers and the dense canopy of the local forests. It is a favorite among local youth and photography enthusiasts who come here to capture the sunrise and sunset. The air here is noticeably cooler and fresher than in the town areas. The site is relatively underdeveloped, which adds to its charm as it feels like a private discovery. On clear days, the horizon seems to stretch infinitely, showing the diverse topography of North Kerala. It is a perfect stop for those driving between Bekal and the interior hill stations, providing a peaceful break away from the highway traffic. :
