Four-day Kadamakkudy Carnival gets under way at Pizhala in Kochi
The four-day Kadamakkudy Village Fest, dubbed as Kadamakkudy Carnival, may be a prelude to a sustained campaign to showcase the idyllic network of 14 islands as a perfect getaway from the hubbub of the city.
The fest, which got under way at Pizhala on Thursday, is being organised by local bodies in association with tour operators and the local community.
Kadamakkudy, which is just 8 km away from Kochi city, is dominated by waterbodies and paddy fields with land accounting for a mere 16%. “It has immense tourism potential and gives a perfect frame for visitors at any time of the year. Kadamakkudy is going to be the highlight of the Water Metro when it is introduced,” said Vipin Raj, vice president, Kadamakkudy panchayat.
