Thenmala Hanging Bridge - History details

Set in the Western Ghats, Thenmala is India’s first planned ecotourism destination. The pedestrian hanging bridge sits in the Leisure Zone near the Parappar (Kallada) Dam reservoir, linking walkways and gardens. ‘Thenmala’ means Honey Hill, recalling the area’s honey trade. Visitors pair bridge views with boating, butterfly safari, treks, and the nearby Palaruvi Falls within the Shendurney landscape—an iconic model for responsible tourism in Kerala.
