01The story

About Thazhuppu & Nariyandi

Thazhuppu and Nariyandi are known for inland fishing: Chinese nets, cast nets and small boats work the calm backwater, and the scenery is green and open.

They are good places to watch traditional fishing at close range and to take in the backwaters without crowds.

Inland fishing here is part of the area's living traditional economy.
