FOR long, Kadambrayar, in Kizhakkambalam village on the outskirts of Kochi, has remained neglected with promises to revive an eco-tourism project there only remaining on paper so far. The scenic locality, with a breathtaking view of lush trees and emerald green waters, even turned a safe haven for anti-social elements for some time.

All that is set to change, with the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) finally implementing a series of infrastructural and entertainment projects to develop it as a new tourist destination. The upcoming attractions include developing the 1.2-km walkway, a boating centre, an eco-tourism-based restaurant, open gym and Children's Play area.

"We've included Kadambrayar in the list of new upcoming destinations in the district. A series of infrastructural facilities and entertainment attractions are being introduced after the same got the approval of the Destination Management Committee headed by Kunnathunad MLA P V Srinijin, who took the initiative in the project revival," DTPC Secretary Lijo Joseph told TNIE.
