Why this place stands out
Chithari Island is a secluded Kasaragod backwater island near Ajanur and Kanhangad, reached by boat and known for lagoons, coconut greenery, quiet waters and an offbeat nature experience.
Chithari Island lies in the backwater landscape near Chithari and Ajanur, within reach of Kanhangad in Kasaragod district. Keralam Tourism presents it as a secluded island experience where visitors cross the surrounding waters by canoe or boat and enter a quiet tropical setting shaped by lagoons, palms and sandy edges. The attraction is less about built monuments and more about the journey across the water, the changing reflections and the sense of separation from busy roads and towns.
This makes Chithari particularly suitable for photographers, couples, families and slow travellers interested in a simple nature outing. Because access is water-dependent, the exact visitor experience can vary with local boat availability, weather and seasonal water conditions. Chithari Island can be paired with Kanhangad, Bekal or other nearby coastal attractions to add a smaller backwater-and-island stop to a Kasaragod itinerary.
