Idukki Awaits Government Nod for Cable Car Project
Imagine a sky-high ride in Idukki, Kerala!
The government wants to build a cable car to connect two popular spots, Moolamattom and Nadukani Pavilion.
It's like the one in Gulmarg, Kashmir.
The project will be done with private companies helping.
The goal is to bring more tourists to the less-visited Kattappana-Thodupuzha route.
This could mean more visitors for nearby attractions like Kalvari Mount and the Idukki Dam, just like how a new bridge made a place called Wagamon very popular.
Idukki's Tourism department seeks government approval for a cable car service.
The project will connect Moolamattom and Nadukani Pavilion.
A ₹3-crore budget was allocated for the project.
The service will be modeled after the Gulmarg, Kashmir, cable car.
The project aims to boost tourism in the Kattappana-Thodupuzha route.
