Anchuthengu sits in a narrow strip between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters, with fishing, coconut palms and village life shaping its everyday landscape. It also carries a fascinating colonial past — the British East India Company established a trading settlement here in 1684. Today, history and ordinary life sit comfortably side by side. Boats move through the waterways, fishing goes on along the coast, and the old stories remain woven into the landscape.
