India's first state of the art cable car is also said to debut here.

Who is responsible for this marvel?

Renowned filmmaker Rajiv Anchal is set to transform Kerala Tourism with his vision with the Jayatu Statue. And the motivation behind it, is equally motivating.

"Set in the picturesque backdrop, the Jatayu statue stands as the symbol of gratitude towards the heroic deed of Jatayu in protecting Sita in the epic Ramayana and has its greater relevance in the modern context as it is one of the earliest attributes in regard to women safety and honour."

The Jayatu sculpture is in fact placed on the spot where Jatayu was said to have landed.
