Good to know
🛶 Coracle ride: Round boats run by local boatmen at Pullu: about 20 minutes, up to four guests a boat, paid direct. We ask for life jackets for everyone; in heavy rain or high water we skip the ride and walk the fields.
🏖️ At the beach: The sea here is not for swimming — paddling at the edge only, where lifeguards allow. The beach park has a small entry fee, paid direct; keep children close.
🌅 Sunset: Sunset time moves through the year, between about 6:10 and 6:50 PM — we time the beach stop so you catch it. Fields and ponds look different month to month; ducks and lotus are not guaranteed every day.
🚉 Pickup points: Thrissur station first, then the KSRTC bus station, then Swaraj Round — we share exact times the evening before. Drop-off back in the same order, or at your own stop in the city.
