Tourists anticipate announcements on improvements at the upcoming legislative session for Kovai Kutralam, a key tourist spot in Coimatore that has been in a state of neglect for over a decade.
Coimbatore: Kovai Kutralam, one of Coimbatore's prime tourist attractions, draws numerous visitors from Tamil Nadu and neighboring states such as Kerala and Karnataka.
The suspension bridge, built there 10 years ago, was once a major attraction.
This bridge, crafted from wood and suspended amidst the forest, offered unique experiences for children, students, and the elderly alike.
However, soon after it opened, lack of maintenance led to its deterioration. The bridge was closed on both ends, barring tourists from crossing, and for the past 10 years, it has remained in disrepair.
Visitors have continuously requested renovations to restore the bridge. The Forest Department has recommended funding from the Tamil Nadu government for this purpose. Additional requests from tourists include the installation of sunshades from the waterfall to the entrance, a nursing room for mothers, and other developmental works. Tourists are eagerly waiting for positive updates on these enhancements at the upcoming legislative session, hoping for the rejuvenation of the Kovai Kutralam site.
