Kochi: Be prepared for a few adrenaline rushes this Onam because the state is about to come to be a prime destination for water sports and adventure tourism activities. While Munambam in Ernakulam location might be a hub of exhilarating water sport sports — from windsurfing, jet snowboarding to banana boats and Kayaking, the Tourism branch is developing Bhootathankettu in the district as a primary adventure tourism vacation spot.
“We’re launching a range of seashore water sports activities at Munambam in a tie-up with the Ernakulam District Tourism Promotion Council. We’ll begin the activities on September 8 and make the centers bigger permanently. Tourists can also revel in Dive Park, Self-Kitchen Models, and Sand Crafting there,” stated Mesh Manoharan, Founder of Neptune Water Sports, which won the bidding for Licensed Operator held via the DTPC the other day.
Now, water game enthusiasts from the kingdom can experience all the activities that are available on the Goan seashores. “We’re presenting windsurfing, catamaran sailing, jet-skiing, velocity boat, banana rides, bumper rides, and kayaking. We’ve been worried about education in these water sports for the final three years, and we have well-skilled staff. Besides, coverage is being provided to riders,” he said. While fundamental facilities like lavatories and parking centers were set up, the vicinity may be formally handed over to the Group on September eight while Vypeen MLA S. Sarma inaugurates DTPC’s Onam celebrations at Munambam seashore. The Dive Park may be set up on a Build-Operate and Transfer (BoT) foundation and transferred to the DTPC inside the destination.
