Nattika - Life in Slow-mo

Want to be where it's lights out at 9 pm indoors and 6 pm outdoors then the place to be is Nattika beach.

It's a place where the crabs outnumber people on its 3 km white sandy stretch

You can take a walk on the beach and visit a 300 year old mosque, the second most ancient in the world where Jumu'ah prayers are offered or take a peek at deep sea fishing

If you're looking for spa/ayurveda resorts that are top-notch and far from the madding crowds you'll find them in Nattika. There's the Nattika beach resort and Kadapurram beach resor but be warned the resorts here offer only Rs.350/- buffet and no a la carte menus so it's a bit steep for budget tourists and the tariffs are with an eye on foreign clientele


If you're looking for whooping it up and crowds, wait till end of the year Nattika Beach Fest which unfolds from 25-12-2012 to 30-12-2012 as part of the Oruma celebrations complete with caparisoned elephants and cultural programmes by famous artistes


The best way to take in Nattika is to drive down there from Athirapally Waterfalls...the combo of waterfall and beach trek is worth the 1 hour drive


Going to Nattika


You can ask houseboat cruise operators who have Nattika as a pit stop

Or drive down 30 km from Thrissur town
