The Idukki District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) has put in place special arrangements at India’s largest cantilever glass bridge that was recently inaugurated at Wagamon in Idukki. According to officials, the new restrictions were imposed following the unprecedented tourist footfall on the glass bridge.
1,000 persons daily
DTPC secretary Jitheesh Jose said that a time slot had been fixed for each entry pass, and the visitors should enter the bridge only at their allotted slot. Nearly 3,000 to 5,000 tourists arrived per day at the Wagamon Adventure Park to enjoy the experience of the cantilever bridge. Now, only 1,000 to 1,100 persons would be given permission daily. At a time 15 people can enter the bridge and spend five to seven minutes. We hope the new arrangement will avoid long queues,” said Mr. Jose.
