A FUN-FILLED journey can turn tragic in the blink of an eye, as seen in the various incidents reported from popular tourist destinations in Kerala.

- ANU KURUVILLA @Kochi

In the latest tragedy, 58-year-old Tobias died after falling into a gorge near Chathanpara on Thursday, the second such incident reported in Chathanpara this year. On January 1, 26-year-old Abin from Karinkunnam died after he fell in the gorge while bursting firecrackers to celebrate New Year.

There are also instances of trips to waterbodies going wrong. In March 2023, three students from Jyothis Central School in Angamaly drowned in the Mankulam river at Valiya Parakutty in Idukki during a school excursion. The students, part of a 33-member group, were bathing in the river when they were caught in a current.
