Unveiling Excitement in Kerala: Debut of Akkulam Glass Bridge Happening This Onam Celebration

The Akkulam Glass Bridge, a unique and exciting addition to Kerala's tourism landscape, is nearing its public opening. Located in the heart of Akkulam Tourist Village, Thiruvananthapuram, this transparent glass structure offers breathtaking panoramic views of the picturesque Akkulam Lake.

The bridge, developed by the Kerala Adventure Tourism Promotion Society (KATPS) at a cost of INR 1.2 crore, is part of a broader lineup of adventure activities recently introduced by the state's tourism department. It has been designed with adventurous elements such as artificial mist, rain showers, and LED-powered illusions, making it a thrilling experience for visitors.

Initial concerns about the bridge's structural integrity were addressed through a thorough review by a team of experts from NIT Kozhikode. Recently, the bridge received safety clearance from a state-appointed expert panel, ensuring the safety of all who cross it.

The Akkulam Glass Bridge is a symbol of innovation, safety-conscious design, and tourism rejuvenation in Kerala. It aligns with the state's efforts to diversify its tourism offerings and position itself as a premier destination for eco-adventure tourism.

If final approval is granted, the bridge could open to visitors as early as next week. Visitor numbers on the bridge will be capped at 25-30 people at a time, with crowd-control protocols in place for safety. The addition of the Akkulam Glass Bridge has boosted the appeal of Akkulam Tourist Village, significantly increasing its earnings.

The Akkulam Glass Bridge is expected to become a major draw for thrill-seekers and leisure visitors alike. With its immersive effects like LED illusions, mist, and rain showers, it is poised to emerge as a new icon for local tourism in Kerala.
