Chirayinkeezhu Water Sport
The Chirayinkeezhu Water Sport center is a growing hub for adventure enthusiasts located on the banks of the Vamanapuram River and the Anchuthengu backwaters. It offers a refreshing break from the usual temple tours of Attingal, providing activities like kayaking, pedal boating, and speed boating. The location is strategically chosen for its calm waters and scenic mangrove fringes, making it safe for beginners and families. Visitors can explore the narrow canals that snake through coconut groves, offering a close look at the local way of life and the diverse avian species inhabiting the region. The facility is equipped with modern safety gear and trained instructors to guide the participants. It is a perfect spot for those looking to combine leisure with physical activity while soaking in the natural beauty of Kerala's water bodies. The panoramic view of the sunset from the middle of the lake is a highlight for many. The center also promotes eco-tourism by educating visitors about the fragile backwater ecosystem.
