Kochi’s Kadamkudi island

It’s a quiet day for a boat ride, the wind blows a gentle blow. The conditions are ideal on the day of the winter. Perier water around Kadmakkudi is still like glass. The distance will be seen in any pole that they identify the outline of the river and make Chinese phishing nets. Silence is refreshing, it is hard to believe that it is only a few kilometers away from the heart of the city’s heart.

The journey is unusual when the boat is operating in the backweights around the 3 islands of Kadamakkudi. Days and smoke, the default of this national journey is missing. The 12-Cit Twin Engine Electronic Cruiser mute the water on the water, and there is no sign behind the water over the water. Generally, motor -powered boats, excluding carbon emissions and noise pollution, also leaves behind a train of oil in water.

With this cruiser, known as the Osu of Legend, the Kochi -based company Tropic Gatewees is trying to give tourists a separate, sustainable experience. Founder Vijay Koshi said, “We are trying to show sustainable, responsible tourism with zero influence on the environment. People living on these islands are self -sufficient and self -reliant, this is a great experience of interconnecting them. “To that end, it looks like his efforts, The Tours, are properly working on the Living Islands of the Kadamakkudi project. The Osu legend officially went to Waters this year in September this year.

The boat is sown on the banks and outside the river, under the small bridge, on the coast of the islands, watching life in these islands. The experience is very different from one of the backwater of Alampooz, Hot, delicious Chukku (Dried ginger infused coffee), which gives ours from thermos flask in the guide or storyteller Hrithik Peter glasses and KuzalappamBanana chips and bite-size Kerala samosas, huge and Hrithik Islands, shared the stories of the people and the backwater.

Paper cups and plates, plastic water bottles were simple options but not in the legend. Since there are refreshments (depending on the duration of the cruise) and the water tree on the board, the guests do not have to get anything in the boat. This is an effective way to discourage water pollution.

The backweights are wide so you see that the sky is combined with water. As the boat goes through the islands, Hrithik points to the landmark on what we pass. We are in the cruise for an hour long, which passes by Cheria Kadamakkudi, Pizala, Murical, Valia Kadamkudi, Palium Thurth and Back to Nihar Spa and Nihar Sapa and Resorts, Kadamakkudi, where the trip begins.

Cut pokali farms, dense mangroves, unpopopled islands and even one of the islands and fish farms populated by one person points the route we take. Hrithik simply indicated on one of the islands with a ‘house’. “Joseph Conscious He lived here with his family. On these islands it can be Rathare alone, especially if you are the only resident and life is not easy. His family is gone, but he refuses to leave his beloved island, “said Vishal.

Hrithik points to a huge water tank on one of the other island and says, “Water was up to the top of the tank during the 2018 flood. It was the only part after these parts; everything else was immersed,” he said. The days that the perier water rose, a deadly reminder of those days, scaryly.

The tropic gateway has turned this ‘cruise’ in such a way that there are variations in terms of offers. History, Ornithology, farming (excluding pokkali, fish and mud crab), food taste (customized menu with role for pokkali rice), all in sustainability including sustainability. If there is an integrated, guests can choose for the Torce walk in these islands and there is a special boat journey to research any of them.

“They are not ‘stage’ – farms and farmers, the people who share their stories are the real people who live here for generations,” said huge. We pass a group of fish for fish with diving. “They are so sealant that these people don’t even understand when they come to them. Do you know that there are about seven ways to fish in these weights!” Hrithik’s chips.

The boat itself got a custom-made attractive-vital boat. “International was sustainable, responsible tourism and I don’t cool with diesel boats.” E-powered boats were not easy to build, it was not easy to find a fabric for working on its specifications. But then, he got the local boat manufacturer. “100 hours of extensive risk was evaluated, we had tracking route for three months before we were ready to ride.” Because there is anxious about the boat stalling, since there are two engines, if one fails, the other starts to work.

It was Christmned Osur legend 99 years old Osu’s consent Conscious K, locals considering, ‘Bridge of Kadamakkudi’, a boat driver who has been passengers across Cruscross for more than 50 years. “There is a local legend that he doesn’t put a single person behind.” The boat has a drawing by a local artist, a Motary Crew of the people waiting for Osu Conscious Since he picked up every person.

The enormous aspire to explains the environmental benefits of power -powered boats in these backweights, we see a traditional thaw Stroke (Ferry) – The boats of two countries join a platform with each other – transporting an autorickshaw.

Smoke and noise are the opposite of the journey of legend. With several years of experience in the tourism industry, he tried to develop tourism by promoting and developing destinations less frequently. Tropic gateways also provide other sustainable activities such as kayaking and e-bike tours.

However, there are only legends now, hoping that more e-boats are hoping to expand the extension.
