Time neededHalf a day
Best timeOctober to March

Chettuva is a coastal village where backwaters, mangroves and small river islands (thuruthu) meet the Arabian Sea. The ruins of a Dutch-era fort, a busy fishing harbour and quiet canoe routes through the mangroves make it very different from the rest of Thrissur.

Local boat operators run backwater trips; ask around at the jetty.

How to reach

About 25 km from Thrissur on the Thrissur–Chavakkad side; close to Chavakkad and Enamavu.
