The long-awaited River Tourism Project in Muvattupuzha has got an impetus, with ₹5 crore being allotted for it under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme to develop tourism amenities in and around Triveni Sangamam, the confluence of three rivers in the town.
A hanging bridge, a walkway along the river, and connectivity with two parks in Muvattupuzha town are among the key components of the project. The hanging bridge across the Thodupuzha river would link Dreamland Park with Pettah, while a walkway has been proposed from Pettah to Kacherithazham. A boat jetty will be readied on one side of the park.
In addition, amenities at the park will be renovated, for which the park premises will be divided into two. Resting and accommodation units for tourists will be readied on one side, while a variety of rides, boating and kayaking amenities and a 60-metre-long glass bridge will be readied on the other side. A pair of boat jetties will be built at varying heights from where kayaking, river rafting, and boating can be done, said Muvattupuzha municipal chairman P.P. Eldhose.
