India’s largest and deepest cantilever glass bridge in Kerala thrown open for public

India’s longest cantilever glass bridge at Vagamon in Kerala was thrown to the public on Wednesday.

The bridge, which was certain to find place among the best tourist attractions in the country, was 40 metre long. This spectacular bridge is a must-see, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience.

Stretching an impressive 40 meters, it holds the title of India’s longest cantilever glass bridge and is perched at a breathtaking 3,500 feet above sea level in the scenic Kolahalamedu, Vagamon.

The bridge is certainly a technological marvel, composed of five layers of 40mm-thick glass, all the way from Germany. It’s not just the longest; it’s also the deepest of its kind in India.

This architectural wonder is 120 feet long, suspended from a single column, and crafted with 35 tons of steel and German glass. From its heights, you’ll be treated to breathtaking vistas of Kuttikkal, Kokkayar, and Mundakayam.

Now, here’s the exciting part for travel enthusiasts: You no longer have to jet off to distant lands like Dubai or China for such a thrilling experience. The Vagamon Glass Bridge brings it right to your doorstep.

This remarkable bridge is the result of a partnership between DTPC and Bharat Mata Ventures, a Perumbavoor-based company, under a public-private partnership (PPP). It came at a cost of Rs 3 crore, with glass imported from Germany and 35 tonnes of steel. So, pack your bags and head to Vagamon for an unforgettable adventure!

The journey across this bridge is an exhilarating one and the view from the end of the bridge is breathtaking.

The glass bridge is located inside the adventure park of Vagamon, which is another great tourist attraction. The entry fee to the park is Rs 500 and the entry timings are 10:00 AM to 5 :00 PM.
